Operated by the UK based Bentwood Flying Club as N9824F from December 1960 to August 1962, when it reverted to military marks for the California ANG. In 1979 it became C-GJEA and noted as such at Vernon (CYVK) in 1992 with airframe damage. Last known action was certificate of registration cancelled on 26 October 1995. The aircraft was never removed from the register and the marks GJEA are not available which equates to registration limbo.

Built as a B-45A then converted to B-45C photo-reconnaissance as indicated by the lack of glazing for the bomb-aimer in the nose. Stolen on 13 June 1958 by a non-pilot airman, who took off from Alconbury Air Base, UK and crashed three minutes later.

B-45A Tornado of 86 Tactical Bomb Squadron, 47 Bomb Wing, based at RAF Alconbury, on show at the 1956 Burtonwood Armed Forces Day display. Serial on fin is '7047' the permitted minimum number of figures at that time.
