Canberra Confusion
WH904,

Aircraft flown by the RAE were often unique, despite their apparent resemblance to front-line types.

Googling Canberra WH793 brings up quite a bit of relevant info, ie it was a HAPR.9 converted by Napier from a PR7 with the new proposed PR9 wing configuration, which first flew 8 July 1955.

The following link has a different image in the RAE Aero Flt Bedford livery with a better indication of the Tip Tank fit:
