Notes:

One of the RAF’s last three Canberras (XH131, XH134 and XH135) following delivery from 39 Squadron at Marham to Delta Jets at Kemble following auction to civilian owners. Their arrival had been well publicized and generated much press and public interest. It was understood that they’d remain at Kemble pending transfer to the civil register.
