In one of the videos there is an aircraft (possibly a P51) about half a mile ahead of the B-17,that the Cobra pilot may have been trying to join on,judging by his speed.
Another reminder of the very `close shave` between the 2 Mustangs at Duxford a few years ago,joining on the B-17;you have to see where all the aircraft are,and keep them in sight all the time..if you can`t,then f*** off out...
