The B(I)8 Canberra (the "I" stands for "Interdictor") lost the one-piece "glasshouse" bubble canopy so "loved" by aircrews and sported instead a fighter type canopy. This was offset from the aircraft's centreline giving the B(I)8 a very distinctive profile shared by the photo-reconn variant, the PR-9, (and of course the Sea Vixen). In June 1972, 16 Sqn (RAF Laarbruch) finally turned-in the last RAF B(I)8 Canberra after a squadron ownership of 14 years! 3 Sqn's B(I)8s (RAF Geilenkirchen) went in January of the same year after flying with the squadron for 11 years. 14 Sqn (RAF Wildenrath) had lost their B(I)8s in June 1970 after 8 years with the Night Intruder.
