It's the only ac the US have bought and developed (AV8B) apart from the Canberra (U2), from another country
The U2 is not the same aircraft as the Canberra nor was it derived from it. The U2 was developed at the Lockheed Skunkworks in the early to mid 1950s. It is not a British design.

Great job on the Harrier though
