With its outer wings removed it was brought to El Aouina where it was captured by the Allies. It was transported to the USA where it was repaired in a lengthy process. It is seen here with the Foreign Aircraft Evaluation Center at Freeman Army Airfield. On 24 July 1946 it crash-landed in a field at Gallatin, TN, due to fuel leakage. Its front fuselage went to the Victory Air Museum at Mundelein, IL in 1951 and in 1986 to Martin Mednis of Sydney, Australia. Note the triangular fuselage and the tiny cockpit.

Many US bases have impressive gate guard parks, many of those are high quality and not inferior for official air force museums! One of these is the aircraft park at Grissom (IN).

Most probably, this B-47B is wearing false serial 20271 and is believed to be 51-2315. The latter was in a major accident prior to 1968. 52-0271 was indeed at Bunker Hill AFB (later Grissom AFB), and maybe this plane is actually the real 52-0271? The plane currently bears the markings 12135 and a sign says that the plane broke its back on a hard landing at Bunker Hill AFB, which forced its retirement, so it may well be the real 51-2315.
