I believe that the Peruvian AF has five Canberra which they keep airworthy. Apparently they are maintained for possible use if the need arises. That seems strange as it doesn't seem to allow for keeping aircrew current?

Perhaps we ought to do a swap with them.... How about we give them a couple of F3's for each Canberra? Nah, my mistake, they've got proper fighters anyway (Mig29 & Mirage 2000).

Their Canberra fleet consisted of four B(I)mk.68 and a T.mk.4 All painted in a very smart deep blue colour scheme. The (I) models have the offset canopy and glazed nose. [ Source: AirForces Monthly Aug'05]

Has Chile still got them in service?
