Thanks everyone. With thanks again to warbirddepot.com:
The Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum (CWHM) is the owner and operator of this North American B-25J Mitchell, which is located at Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, and is available for airshows, flybys and film.
CWHM's B-25J Mitchell (45-8883) was assembled in Kansas City in early 1945 and was sold to civilian operators later that year, without ever seeing military service. It was used as a corporate transport by several companies as well as serving as a flying test shop for the Bendix Corporation. CWHM found it abandoned at Wilmington, Delaware in 1975. After temporary repairs, the aircraft was flown to the Museum where it underwent extensive restoration. The aircraft now proudly displays the markings of a Mitchell III of No. 98 RAF Squadron, which fought over northwest Europe during 1944-45. It is dedicated to the many Canadians who flew with that squadron and to all CWHM members who were awarded the distinguished Flying Cross.

Thanks guys. Gary, you bet. From the Canadian Warplane Heritage Website:
The Royal Canadian Navy employed 65 Fireflies of the Mk AS5 variety on board its own aircraft carriers between 1946 and 1954. The letters 'AS' stand for anti-submarine, which was the intended primary role of the RCN's Fireflies.
The Museum's Mk 6 was the first aeroplane type acquired for CWH's collection, which explains why the Firefly is pictured on the CWH decals and letterhead (although this is not the original aircraft). The Camden Air Museum (Australia) provided the Museum with this Firefly, which has been restored in the colours and markings of 825 (RCN) Squadron, which flew Mk 5's from the aircraft carrier HMCS 'Magnificent,' circa 1953.
