VX185 English Electric Canberra B.8 Royal Air Force
This record-breaking aircraft began life as a PR.3 but was completed as the B.5 prototype in 1951 and made a record breaking flight by double crossing the Atlantic on the 26th August 1952 (flown from RAF Aldergrove in Northern Ireland to Gander and back in 10 hours, 3 minutes and 29.28 seconds). Was converted to a B(I).8 in 1954. In 1959 VX185 was transferred to RAF St Athan as a Ground Instructional airframe and eventually went to BAC Filton in 1961 and was broken up there in 1964. This section of this aircraft was acquired by the Science Museum in London, before going to East Fortune. Seen at East Fortune Museum on 29th July 2006
