Tumble... would you " go around again" in that situation?![]()
I think 3 were involved
Sally B http://www.deltaweb.co.uk/sallyb/ - was Memphis Belle
Pink Lady http://pink.lady.free.fr/ - was Mother and Country
but I cannot identify the other one, these appear to be the only two European ones flying. I have seen them fly together at a Warbirds display at Wantage and seeing 2 B17s do a "fighter break" over the airfield is breath taking. Got some photos of them doing it somewhere
More trivia
Filmed at Scampton, Binbrook and Duxford

Yeah, I watched it too
Neither me or my dad can remember what this other film was, but it was made by Spielburg, and one of the guys in the plain drew the wheels on this picture of the plain (because the landing gear wouldn't come down) and it appeared. Does anyone have any idea what that film was called?

It was a short story thing on years ago, cant remember the name of it tho....
Yeah I remember that too, came out on TV after the Mephis Belle film. There was a whole series of them, each one done by a different director, all of them a biut 'Twilight Zone'-ish. John Landis did one, as well as John Crapenter and I *think* George Lucas did one too.
Dunno the name of 'em though.
