I'm sure the esteemed readership could be quick to point out obvious flaws in all of these equipment programs, but what really matters is what is fielded TODAY.
Ahh, that would be the World Class Wikipedia, home of all the facts you will ever need.
However,
this (look under the 'squadrons' button in the left margin) states:
The RAF had 62 Canberra squadrons over the aircraft's time in service as well as numerous "Flights" and "Sections"
It then shows a table: The table below lists all the RAF squadrons that flew the Canberra and shows the squadron badge, the type flown, where based and brief details of the unit markings employed (if any).
