Hi Peter,
I checked my copy of WWD 1st Ed (don't know why I didn't see it before) and found the note that KB848 (nose only) is at the National Aviation Museum. You seem a little unsure (below) regarding wheter it was KB848 or 851. It would seem from the WWD that the serial is KB848. Can you confirm?
BTW... Canadian Military Aircraft Photos and Serials has the following information
KB848, TOS 1945/7/6, SOS 1964/4/3, Notes: at Greenwood
KB851, TOS 1945/7/6, SOS 1961/8/22, Notes: Fire Bee fitted
Regards,
Mike
