It was developed by <a href="/wiki/English_Electric" title="English Electric">English Electric</a> during the mid- to late 1940s in response to a 1944 <a href="/wiki/Air_Ministry" title="Air Ministry">Air Ministry</a> requirement for a successor to the wartime <a href="/wiki/De_Havilland_Mosquito" title="De Havilland Mosquito">de Havilland Mosquito</a> fast bomber. Among the performance requirements for the type was an outstanding high-altitude bombing capability and high speed. These were partly accomplished by making use of newly developed jet-propulsion technology. When the Canberra was introduced to service with the <a href="/wiki/Royal_Air_Force" title="Royal Air Force">Royal Air Force</a> (RAF), the type's first operator, in May 1951, it became the service's first jet-powered bomber. </p><p>In February 1951, a Canberra set another world record when it became the first jet aircraft to make a nonstop <a href="/wiki/Transatlantic_flight" title="Transatlantic flight">transatlantic flight</a>. Throughout most of the 1950s, the Canberra could fly at a higher altitude than any other aircraft in the world, and in 1957, a Canberra established a <a href="/wiki/Flight_altitude_record" title="Flight altitude record">world altitude record</a> of 70,310 feet (21,430&#160;m). Due to its ability to evade the early <a href="/wiki/Jet_aircraft" title="Jet aircraft">jet</a> <a href="/wiki/Interceptor_aircraft" title="Interceptor aircraft">interceptor</a> aircraft, and its significant performance advancement over contemporary <a href="/wiki/Reciprocating_engine" title="Reciprocating engine">piston</a>-engined bombers, the Canberra became a popular aircraft on the export market, being procured for service in the air forces of many nations both inside and outside of the <a href="/wiki/Commonwealth_of_Nations" title="Commonwealth of Nations">Commonwealth of Nations</a>. The type was also <a href="/wiki/Licensed_production" title="Licensed production">licence-produced</a> in Australia by <a href="/wiki/Government_Aircraft_Factories" title="Government Aircraft Factories">Government Aircraft Factories</a> (GAF) and in the US by <a href="/wiki/Glenn_L._Martin_Company" title="Glenn L. Martin Company">Martin</a> as the <a href="/wiki/Martin_B-57_Canberra" title="Martin B-57 Canberra">B-57 Canberra</a>. The latter produced both the slightly modified B-57A Canberra and the significantly updated B-57B. </p><p>In addition to being a tactical <a href="/wiki/Nuclear_warfare" title="Nuclear warfare">nuclear strike</a> aircraft, the Canberra proved to be highly adaptable, serving in varied roles such as <a href="/wiki/Tactical_bombing" title="Tactical bombing">tactical bombing</a> and <a href="/wiki/Imagery_intelligence" title="Imagery intelligence">photographic</a> and <a href="/wiki/Electronic_intelligence" class="mw-redirect" title="Electronic intelligence">electronic</a> <a href="/wiki/Reconnaissance_aircraft" title="Reconnaissance aircraft">reconnaissance</a>. Canberras served throughout the <a href="/wiki/Cold_War" title="Cold War">Cold War</a>, in the <a href="/wiki/Suez_Crisis" title="Suez Crisis">Suez Crisis</a>, <a href="/wiki/Vietnam_War" title="Vietnam War">Vietnam War</a>, <a href="/wiki/Falklands_War" title="Falklands War">Falklands War</a>, <a href="/wiki/Indo-Pakistani_wars_and_conflicts" title="Indo-Pakistani wars and conflicts">Indo-Pakistani wars</a>, and numerous African conflicts. In several wars, each of the opposing sides had Canberras in its air force. </p><p>The Canberra served for more than 50 years with some operators. In June 2006, the RAF retired the last three of its Canberras 57 years after its first flight. Three of the Martin B-57 variant remain in service, performing <a href="/wiki/Meteorology" title="Meteorology">meteorological</a> and re-entry tracking work for <a href="/wiki/NASA" title="NASA">NASA</a>, as well as providing electronic communication (<a href="/wiki/Battlefield_Airborne_Communications_Node" title="Battlefield Airborne Communications Node">Battlefield Airborne Communications Node</a>) testing for deployment to <a href="/wiki/Afghanistan" title="Afghanistan">Afghanistan</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Bacon_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Bacon-3"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup><sup class="noprint Inline-Template" style="white-space:nowrap;">&#91;<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Dates_and_numbers#Chronological_items" title="Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Dates and numbers"><span title="The date of the event predicted near this tag has passed.

After a three-year restoration process, the Temora Aviation Museum, Australia, has completed the successful test flight of TT.18 WJ680. The flight, which took place on 27 June 2021, marks the first time the aircraft has flown in 11 years, last taking to the skies on 5 June 2010. The museum's Canberra is now the only airworthy example in the world, apart from three that are still in use with NASA for research purposes.<sup id="cite_ref-207" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-207"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>202<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup></li> <li>WK165, an ex-RAF Canberra B2, is on display at the <a href="/wiki/South_Australian_Aviation_Museum" title="South Australian Aviation Museum">South Australian Aviation Museum</a> in Port Adelaide.<sup id="cite_ref-208" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-208"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>203<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup></li> <li>A84-125 is stored at <a href="/wiki/RAAF_Base_Amberley" title="RAAF Base Amberley">RAAF Base Amberley</a>.</li> <li>A84-201 (the first Australian-built GAF Canberra) is at <a href="/wiki/RAAF_Base_Amberley" title="RAAF Base Amberley">RAAF Base Amberley</a> in the base memorial garden.</li> <li>A84-203 is on display at <a href="/wiki/Evans_Head_Memorial_Aerodrome" title="Evans Head Memorial Aerodrome">Evans Head Memorial Aerodrome</a>.</li> <li>A84-204 is on display at <a href="/wiki/Meandarra" title="Meandarra">Meandarra</a> ANZAC Memorial Museum.</li> <li>A84-208 is privately owned and stored at <a href="/wiki/Rupanyup" title="Rupanyup">Rupanyup</a>.</li> <li>A84-209 is privately owned at <a href="/wiki/Camden_Museum_of_Aviation" title="Camden Museum of Aviation">Camden Museum of Aviation</a>.</li> <li>A84-210 is privately owned at <a href="/wiki/Mareeba" title="Mareeba">Mareeba</a>.</li> <li>A84-219 is on display at Brymaroo, Queensland.</li> <li>Parts of A84-220 are on display in the <a href="/wiki/Air_Warfare_Centre_RAAF" title="Air Warfare Centre RAAF">Air Warfare Centre</a> at <a href="/wiki/RAAF_Base_Edinburgh" title="RAAF Base Edinburgh">RAAF Base Edinburgh</a>.</li> <li>The cockpit of A84-222 is preserved at the <a href="/wiki/Australian_National_Aviation_Museum" title="Australian National Aviation Museum">Australian National Aviation Museum</a> in <a href="/wiki/Moorabbin,_Victoria" title="Moorabbin, Victoria">Moorabbin, Victoria</a>.</li> <li>A84-223 is on display outside <a href="/wiki/No._2_Squadron_RAAF" title="No. 2 Squadron RAAF">No. 2 Squadron</a> HQ at <a href="/wiki/RAAF_Base_Williamtown" title="RAAF Base Williamtown">RAAF Base Williamtown</a>.</li> <li>A84-224 is privately owned at Denison, Victoria.</li> <li>A84-225 is on display at <a href="/wiki/Queensland_Air_Museum" title="Queensland Air Museum">Queensland Air Museum</a>, <a href="/wiki/Caloundra_Airport" title="Caloundra Airport">Caloundra Airport</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-209" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-209"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>204<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup></li> <li>A84-226 is under restoration at the <a href="/wiki/Australian_National_Aviation_Museum" title="Australian National Aviation Museum">Australian National Aviation Museum</a>.
