The Canberra concerned belonged to 58 Squadron. The location was Norway (Can't remember which airfield) and the perpetrators of the "zapping" were a detachment of U S Navy RA3 Skywarriors, whose emblem was a tiger. The photo that I saw, when I was on 58 in 1970, was kept in 58's Jengo's office and showed a line of tiger pawprints leading along the spine towards the tail. Where the 58 Owl had been, there were only a few feathers, with a rather satisfied tiger licking its lips. The incident happened, I believe, in the 1960s.
