This is the place where the majority of the warbird (aircraft that have survived military service) discussions will take place. Specialized forums may be added in the new future

The wreckage was not at Duxford, the aircraft crashed up at Binbrook, at one point the tail section was in a holding yrd in Lincolnshire UK.

From memory I think that was pretty much it. There was a fairly substantial fire which consumed most of the airframe, thankfully everyone got out with only fairly minor injuries, I seem to recall that this was aided by the fuselage breaking.

I remember talking with some of the NWM B-17 guys at Geneseo in 1989, and they said that they acquired at least the control surfaces from the tail. Other than the tail, I believe the rest of the aircraft burned to the ground. Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Richard
