I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

The OP is asking about the PR9 with only its installed engines and no assistance.

IIRC it had the same oxygen limit at the V-bombers at 56k. However with additional breathing equipment such as the Taylor partial pressure helmet it would certainly have been cleared higher. I know the Lightning had the Taylor helmet in 1964 but don't know about the Canberra.
