A different, yet recent pic.. of a change.... - Feeling a bit 'odd', having my Tudor on my Right wrist, (for the hell of it..) -Vs the norm, being on my left, as usual..
Somehow, because of the 'unusuallness' of the 'norm', my Tudor feels 'heavier' than it does on my 'regular' left wrist....
Isnt that unusual...!! -

- Interesting how one, becomes accustomed to the 'norm' ...vs being adjusted to a 'change'...!!!

The DB9 is much more a match to my watch. Please bring it over here immediately and surrender the keys.

Congrats on that opportunity. That is so sweet!

Nice storm66

Love Duxford, some pics I took recently. http://wesackerman.webs.com

That's a B-17, was painted up as Sally B when I was there, if it's the same one.

Fantastic photos,Joker!.....it's the same B17.....Sally B painted on one side, Memphis Bell on the other!.......my father in law got treated to a flight in a Dragon Rapide for his 70th and was joined by a Spitfire over Cambridge....
Aiming for another visit in July for the Airshow

A fantastic place to go

...Not the same aircraft, tho 2 different B17's, which were used in the filming of 'The Memphis Belle'.....

"A former civilian firebomber, B-17G-85-DL, AAC Serial No. 44-83546, FAA registered N3703G, was converted into a B-17F configuration by installing a Sperry top turret, early-style tail gunner's compartment and waist gunner's positions, and omitting the chin turret. That aircraft subsequently appeared in the 1990 fictionalized version of the Memphis Belle story, and continues to make air show appearances in that guise. Originally painted with the Warner Brothers movie version of the nose art and markings, the B-17 (owned by David Tallichet) now carries the historic markings found on the actual Memphis Belle. That aircraft is currently leased by The Liberty Foundation and provides historical flight experiences to the public.
.
The Sally B was also used in filming as the Memphis Belle. She is the last airworthy B-17 in the United Kingdom and is based at the Imperial War Museum, Duxford. She is part of the USAAC World War II Memorial Flight and makes dozens of appearances across the United Kingdom and Northern Europe. She is maintained and run by volunteers, relying solely upon donations.

Sorry to the OP whom I believe brought both of these wonderful threads in to the TRF world, nothing personal.

We don't mean the 'Actual' same aircraft!.......at Duxford the B17 is painted to depict both the classic aircraft,...Memphis Bell on one side and the Sally B on the other.........they fired up one of the engines while I was there,hopefully getting her ready for the coming airshow
