One of them was returned to service after 40 years in the boneyard in Arizona, back in 2011, I would expect they'll look at the other airframes there to see if they're suitable sources for a rebuild. Wouldn't be surprised if this is the end of this one though, it was already doing pretty well for a design that first flew in 1949 (the English Electric Canberra design that was then built by Martin)

Wait, this is THE Canberra? The Mighty Canberra? The RAF Luton Canberra?

This gives those jokes an entire new dimension!
