Canberra "on one"
This from memory, so I expect to be corrected by those with access to "the books" (and/or better memories) ..
Canberra asymmetric speeds depended on the Mark. The lower-powered Marks B2, PR3, T4 would have had a "safety speed" (as we called it) of 120 kts, while the B15's was 175 kts, on which, with all wing stores on, you kept a finger ready during and just after take-off to go for the "wing clear switch", to get into a safe speed region should one of Mr. Royce's motors do a nasty on you.
On the approach on one engine, you kept the flaps up (remember that they were either Up or Down, no in-betweens!) until you were sure of landing, and then you were committed. If you weren't nicely settled at that point, you overshot and went round again if you were wise and didn't want a fit of the knee-tremblers. Single-engined "Rollers" (touch & go) were out except for the T4, demonstrated by your instructor, because of the Avon's somewhat hesitant response from idling, while some Squadron pilots, such as IREs, would be qualified to perform them (again on the T4), after a check ride.
At the end of flying (or refresher training) you fouind yourself posted to the Canberra OCU (or not), but I don't think there was such a thing as "streaming" at that time (50s/60s) - your instructors assessed you and made "appropriate recommendations".

Reason: add "overshooting"
