At risk of being told off again, until 2 years ago the answer would probably have been 39 Sqn's Canberras. Some of those airframes had, I believe, been in operational service with the RAF for over 50 years. Since their disbandment, the aircraft have been privately commercially operated and have been leased back by the RAF for certain tasks.

Two of these pr9's are sat at Kemble and have been since they retired. One will definately not fly again, the other I'm not sure about, they still engine run her.
