hi guys,

last night at Prestwick airport a B-17 bomber landed on it's way to the Duxford airshow.

Unfortunatly i did not get a chance to get down to see it ,but thanks to a fellow Killie fan,i can post the couple of pictures that he took.

Hope you all enjoy the pictures,and i'll be back on the forum in the very near future when my life calms down :D

Superb pictures Dave :thumbsup:

 

I was reading about the B-17 yesterday in the extra,

 

got a new computer too at last so we may still be able to get together a treasure bunker team for that game you have :bigun2:

And here's to the brave young guys who hauled them into Germany time after time. The ball gunner under the mid fuselage, apart from having to occupy a really confined space, in a plexiglass ball in mid-air, was virtually stuck if they were hit.

I saw the 'Sally B' many years ago at the Great Warbirds show, a great sight .
