... as in this thread title. I've come up with some real 'winners' for titles, but this one is easily the worst.


This first photo looks like it would be in sequence with the two below, but not so much. Not sure where this was taken but it looks to be somewhere in the UK?

The second to last photo, showing three Lancasters flying together, are the aircraft that were used for the making of the 1955 movie "The Dam Busters".

That last photo is an Avro Lincoln...but here is a Lancaster with the same number of props feathered (it was covered on the Key forum a while back http://forum.keypublishing.com/showthread.php?132177).

Just remember you can only tie the record for lowest fly by.....

OK.....for the aircraft ID sleuths. Looking at that wing or fuselage piece at the bottom of the pic, what plane did it go to?

The B-17 Sallie B (485784) is shown both with and without the ball and chin turrets. Anyone know which is the latest configuration and if this plane is still around?
