Rumours abound Liberty Bell coming to Australia on a tour or a outright purchase?

It makes sense in a way; the owner already owns another B-17 and a sale of this nature would ensure it's expidited restoration to airworthy status. But of course it is just rumor.

Interestingly enough, it just taxied past my office widow here at Charleston about an hour ago. I hear they will be selling rides this weekend. Maybe I should go over and see if they need any help.

Allegedly.

If the hints that have been dropped on another board turn out to be true, I'd keep a close eye on the Provenance website for more news.

I'm fairly certain that the Liberty Belle has not been sold, although I only work here, nobody tells me nothin' :) Restoraion continues on the Dyke Lake B-17, although right now finishing the P-40 and getting it flying has priority.

I plan to be with the Liberty Belle at the Jacksonville stop next weekend.

Chuck

Hello Chuck

Do you have some information about the restoration of the Dyke Lake B-17 ?
(I had found nothing in the web about it)

And Chuck ~ do you know if the Belle is spending the winter at Fantasy of Flight like last year ?

If she is about to head off to Australia in 2007 ~ this might be the last chance to take a ride for some time !
