Keith My guess would be a Canberra T.4 as there don't appear to be wing tip tanks or any nose bulges but there were many modifications and variants so I would not be sure. It could be Air Atlantique's T.4 Canberra, I think the B2/6 they have has tip tanks but again not sure. -- Andrew "Heavier-than-air flying machines are impossible."
