We're getting closer to the Sally B & Friends Day at Duxford on Sunday 31st July.

There's just time to think about taking out supporters club membership ~ for you or a friend ~ thereby "saving" the cost of IWM entry on the day !

More details of the days events coming soon :D

For the record only:
the Staggerwing attending the event isn't a UC-43 but a YC-43, the former US Embassy London aircraft.

A few pix from a wonderfully relaxed day full of atmosphere .....

The control tower was kept safe by the Home Guard

Image

Chief Engineer Peter Brown talks to Ken Ellis about the challenge of keeping a B-17 airworthy

Image

With a good crowd listening attentively

Image

Image

Ely Sallingboe had a few words to say too

Image

And let's not forget the star of the show

:wink:
