Someone on Facebook said they looked up the reports she was referring to, and it was the 1987 909 incident, Liberty Belle in 2011 and the movie Memphis Belle but I can't recall the year.
The Memphis Belle movie incident was the French IGN operated B-17, which crashed and burned on take off from RAF Binbrook in the summer of 1989. No fatalities with that one though, remarkably considering what happened.
But surely that was a UK AAIB investigation as it was in UK, and with a French registered a/c?
You've got the wrong end of the stick there entirely I'm afraid Firebird. The Movie Memphis Belle referred to is Tallichet's B-17, which suffered an incident in 1995 that the NTSB reported on.
