Indeed.
In many ways the Canberra is way more important and significant in the scheme of things, we haven't sold much to the USA post war after all, as well as numerous sales to other countries. And with the Vulcan no more, there's no other 'large' jet with such a spritely performance....especially in
PR.9 form, which again makes the choice of WK163 over the already airworthy XH134 even more confusing.
