Does anyone have any info re the B17 "Thar she blows" which I saw taking off from Chelveston UK during the war?

According to B-17 Nose Art Name Directory
By Wallace R. Forman

There were 3 'Thar She Blows'

1 with the 91th Bomber Group
1 with 305 Bomber Group
1 with 306 Bomber Group

Sorry NO serials listed and the only photo that Wally knows about its the 91th Bomber Group example

Your one would of course be the 305th Bombardment Group one who were based at Chelveston
