I said the pic showed this Can at St Athan in recent years, it's not a 1956 pic. I would, however, be interested if you have any different gen regarding WD935 in "Bomber Command 1" scheme in 1975.

As for Cosford's B(I)8, you're right, it was a shamful thing to do. The only B(I)8 left in the UK was sold on to the Christchurch Museum (Wigrams, NZ). It was broken down for shipping at transferred in 1993. WT346 is still lying in bits at Wigram, see here. It's about time we had it back, even just as a static display. It would serve an example of part of the UK's unsung nuclear forces in the days when we had a "proper" Air Force.
