| 'Sally B' at Duxford Did anyone get any pictures of 'Sally B' at Duxford as she came over with both engines smoking in the finale of the display?

  | It wasn't the final display. But here's one I took.

| Nice ones guys! Here is how I remember the Sally B, circa 1986. Sorry for the crappy scans.

| Great shots fellas There was a few damp eyes at the Legends show when Sally made her fly past trailing smoke (quite a few Veterans there & civvies from the period) There is a bit of good news about the Sally I learned on Sunday. If you remember the old B was looking like it may be grounded due to new EU insurance reclassification which classed planes like the Sally B as commercial aircraft, the Insurance companies have come up with a really good deal for the next season on her premium and the EU have admitted an oversight regarding historic planes like the B. So with a bit of luck by the end of next year they will have amended the legislation for all aircraft of the Sallys class or historic planes. |

| There wasn't a tear in my eye - and my brother's girlfriend was asleep, so I don't think she was crying. How she could sleep through the two B-17s taxiing right past us I will never know.
