Hi all, I was just wondering if any of you could help identify the planes that were used in the filming of the 1990 film Memphis Belle?

I've already identified some of the aircraft but looking for assistance on the other aircraft, here's the list that I've managed to put together from various sources but looking for tail/reg numbers for the other aircraft.

B-17F 42-29782 (N17W) "Boeing Bee"
B-17G 44-85643 "Chateau du Vernuiel" (destroyed during take off accident in filming)
B-17G 44-85784 "Sally B"
B-17G 44-8846 "The Pink Lady"
B-17G 44-83546 (N3703G) "The Movie Memphis Belle"
P-51 Mustang 44-73149 (N51JJ / G-BTCD) "Ferocious Frankie"
P-51 Mustang 44-73877 (N167F)
P-51 Mustang s/n CACM-192-1517
P-51 Mustang 44-72216 (G-BIXL)
P-51 Mustang
P-51 Mustang

HA-1112 s/n 151 (later registered as G-BOML) (as Messerschmitt Bf 109)
HA-1112 s/n 235 (later registered as NX109GU) (as Messerschmitt Bf 109)

Liberty Belle (N390TH) was not involved in the movie. In 1990, she was still in many pieces..........

The first 5 B-17s you have listed are the only 5 in the film. The rest were not involved
