The English Electric Canberra is a first-generation jet-powered light bomber manufactured in large numbers through the 1950s.

The Canberra remained in service with the Royal Air Force until 23 June 2006, 57 years after its first flight.

The Canberra could fly at a higher altitude than any other bomber through the 1950s and set a world altitude record of 70,310 ft (21,430m) in 1957.
