Canberras

I read in todays Telegraph that the last remaining Canberras retired yesterday after a brief flypast. Someone please tell me that they are not going to be cut up or reduced to cockpits. Surely this is a chance to preserve at least one of these a/c, as surely their imput to UK civil and military aviation cannot be matched by any other militiary jet aircrafts? In fact they have flown in squadron if the telegraph is right since 1951 and with exception of the Dak I doubt that any other aircraft in the Uk scene can display such length of service. Let battle commence to ensure a level of survival?
