Terry: I recommend 'Force for Freedom - The USAF in the UK since 1948' by Michael J.F.Bowyer (Publisher - Patrick Stephens Ltd).
Well spotted Dan : – it was in fact the very naughty KC-135T* 55-3121 which went through many configurations over the years (I logged it at Brize Norton in July 1963 as a ‘RIVET STAND’ KC-135R* and again at Heyford in May 1968). It had been detached to the ‘heath to perform CIA sponsored ‘RIVET JAW’ missions along the northern Soviet border which ended abruptly in November when it was ‘closely intercepted’ by Migs firing their guns alongside. A week before my pic it had failed to wind back its weird trailing antenna which then had to be cut loose and dropped into the Arctic Ocean. See this website for the history of what was described as one of the most important recon -135 platforms before it struck a mountain in Alaska in 1985 during poor weather while on a 'RIVET DANDY' training flight out of Eielson.

* Confusingly, the -R and -T suffixes have no connection to their later use.
