In addition to being a tactical nuclear strike aircraft, the Canberra proved to be highly adaptable, serving in varied roles such as tactical bombing, photographic and electronic reconnaissance. Canberras have served in numerous conflicts, mainly with the Royal Air Force (RAF). The Canberra was retired by the RAF in June 2006, 57 years after its first flight.
