So what do you do when there's a big game being played on a Saturday afternoon ?

Yep ~ go somewhere thats normally busy and find that ........ apart from museum security ( who have to be there ) ~ you have the run of the museum !

I paid a visit to the Royal Air Force Museum at Hendon back in June ~ specifically to take some digital pix of their B-17 44-83868

Nice pics!

That B-17 is finished in the colors of the same bomb group my great uncle was a pilot in, the 94th. If I remember correctly there is a B-17 at Castle Air Force Base in the colors of the "Square A" guys as well.

Those guys in the jeep really need to relax though! :P
