Jim, I couldn't really tell you either way, right now, conclusively, without actually doing some more research myself. I can tell you, however, that the aircraft, as depicted, did not fly from Bodney (at least in the exact, late markings the aircraft is displayed in), these being the last markings the aircraft had before Preddy's death. At the time, the aircraft and the rest of the 352nd FG were based at the forward airfield Y-29, in Asch, Belgium, in support of the Allied Advances and the Battle of the Bulge (the group having moved there in early-mid December of '44). I believe the photos that do exist of the aircraft (in a slightly earlier form), were taken earlier while it was still at Bodney.
Speaking of Bodney, however, I thought these two "then and now" photos of the airfield, were rather telling...you can still find traces of the past, if you know where to look:

In photos, you will see Mustangs and P-47's parked both out in the grass, and on steel matting, at Bodney, and that didn't seem to really change much over time.
I believe I recall that the Y-29 airfield in Belgium had a runway laid out with steel matting, though all of the photos I recall seeing of the runway at Bodney, always show it as being a large grass field, such as in the photos posted to this thread:

Using Google Earth/Maps, or one of the photo sceneries for England, you can still pick out many defining and out-lining features of Bodney still remaining today.
