Mad about B17's seeking help for this weekend.

Hello, I'm writing to ask if anybody out there can help. My trusty landrover has given up the ghost and has had to go in for repair. I was going down to Duxford this weekend to see the B17 display. Is there anybody from the Liverpool area going to Duxford this weekend and can offer a lift or a solution to my problem.

I can't miss this one, not with the possibility of three B17's being there.

Will share petrol cost etc etc, thanks, (desperate).

Probably will never be so many B17's at Duxford again.

Never been there before so not so bad for me to have a chance to see 3 B-17Žs being there for a first time...
Sally B probably wonŽt fly as thereŽs a problem with the engine # 1, more at http://www.ww2aircraft.net/forum/war...a-10748-3.html (Flying Legends Duxford 2008)

Thanks for your kind words.

I did see SallyB fly some years ago at Duxford, went inside it, fantastic. I've let my membership of the SallyB Preservation group and supporters club lapse due to commitments overseas.

I see what you mean reference the new SallyB engine refit and failure.

Still, the Liberty Belle will be there, even if they don't fly it's just great to be there and see them in the raw.

Fantastic aircraft, just love em!!!!!!!!
