Aviation art Christmas card featuring an English Electric Canberra PR.9 of 39 (1 PRU) Squadron based at RAF Marham. The Canberra entered service with the RAF in 1951 as its first jet bomber and served with distinction for two decades. From 1970 the aircraft was withdrawn from front line combat units with many airframes being converted for secondary roles, the most notable being photographic reconnaissance. The aircraft flew many important reconnaissance missions, mainly with 39(1 PRU) Squadron, until its final retirement in 2006.
