You are right about 360 Sqn, since lots of the pilots were RN of course - including my brother-in -law who came from Sea King "pingers" to the Canberra. The Navy regarded a Canberra tour as a lead in for potential SHAR pilots and we had a lot of people from the Wessex and Sea King, not to mention the Gannet!
Of course the great majority of RAF pilots joining were did come from various stages of fast jet training, and a great many went back down that route very successfully after some time on a Canberra Squadron.
In my case I had never expected to end up on the Canberra (though I am very glad I did) having wanted to be a truckie. I volunteered for the UAS after getting my QFI "blessing", and then spent another 14 years on the Nimrod.
Hard to forget some of the characters around in those days, including one or two truly legendary and eccentric RN Flight Commanders with experience of everything from the Sea Fury to the Harrier.
