I think a photo of the hat is called for so that we may all admire its splendour! Anyone got one...?
Same B-25 I'll wager at Biggin, it turned up at quite few shows I was at. Mind you, reading through the list of dispersals of the Needle B-25s, it seems as if he flew them till they broke, dumped them and went back to Blackbushe to get another...
I remember going up there during Farnborough week - 78? - four B-25s, half a dozen Daks, a sprinkling of Ju-52s and that was just what was visible on the airfield... the other B-25 turned up next time I went there... Oh and ex Moroccan Fennecs...
While perhaps Ted would have had his hands full keeping the B-17 airworthy, one wonders what he might have gone on to achieve... I sincerely hope Sally B can be kept going ad infinitum - she might be twenty years older than me but I suspect she's much better looked after!
Where's me pipe and slippers...
PS CamelPilot - I suspect you have the cushiest spot on PPRuNe - do you actually ever have to do any moderating?!!
