Barkston Heath Canberra

Does anyone know the reason why a Canberra is dumped at Barkston Heath, was it a BDRT or fire practice airframe at some point ?

It’s all that’s left of a B(I)8 WT339 late of 88 Sqn. A potted history is here

It is a very battered former fire practice airframe. It is often now used to simulate a crashed aircraft during the “Peacekeeper” exercise at the end of the RAF’s Initial Officer Training course…
