In this photograph from the 1955 SBAC Farnborough Airshow, English Electric's Canberra B.2 Sapphire-Canberra WD933 (msn EE-012) takes center stage. This Canberra bomber, which was bailed to Armstrong Siddeley directly from the production line, is a unique variant, as it was fitted with two Armstrong Siddeley Sapphire engines for high-altitude testing. The Canberra B.2, a versatile and advanced aircraft of its time, was a significant development from the original Canberra B.1. This particular model, WD933, was an essential contribution to the aviation industry, as it played a crucial role in supporting the Handley Page Victor programme.

WD933, with its distinctive Sapphire engines, was a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the engineers and designers who worked tirelessly to push the boundaries of what was possible in aviation.
