I think you will find that's the Collins Foundation 909 replica that sadly crashed not many years ago. The original 909 served with the 91st Bomb Group based at Bassingbourn. She held the 8th AF record for missions completed without a mechanical abort. Her sister ship was Out House Mouse who was under the care of the same Crew Chief, she was next one down the record list of missions without a mechanical abort.
