Saw a B17 flying into Duxford...

[irocfan]

of all the sodding luck - been meaning to buy a dashcam and today on the way home a B17 flew across the M11 to land at Duxford! Looked magnificent, I was squeaking like a justin bieber fan!

Truth be told even mrs Iroc was impressed

That's because there is one based there (Sally B). If you drive past Duxford often enough you should see it. There's also a non flying example in the museum there.

Oh I am aware if that Eric - just never seen one come in to land over the M11 (actually scrub that last bit, never seen one come in to land full stop!)

It flew low over my garden on Saturday en route to Southport. Quite a sight. Yesterday we had two vampires and a Mig 15 in formation doing similar.

I'm going there this weekend, taking my nephews to the BoB display. Hopefully the B17 will be part of it

I was stuck in a traffic jam on the M11 on the way into Duxford one year when a Hawker Hurricane passed over my head on its way in to land. When I got onto the airfield, I found it's undercarriage had suffered a malfunction and it ended up on its nose -
