XH132

What was XH132’s original role?

The one-off PR9 Canberra XH132 was unlike any other PR9 because of the unusual nose configuration. My understanding is that XH132 was designed to sneak up behind Warsaw pact aircraft and record their infrared and radar signature. However, my information may be completely incorrect – so what was the aircraft's original role?
