A query was raised at Duxford today regarding an unidentified Beech 18 wearing USAAC colours and code 0-1751 in 1984. This was a Beech C-45H G-BKRG registered to Aces High who had various aircraft based at Duxford around that period. She wore numerous colour schemes for film roles including those below. I am not sure which film 0-1751 was for. Her other starring role was in the Bond Film Octopussy as VN75WB. Eventually she moved on to North Weald with Aces High but was subsequently acquired by the Aviodome in Holland/Lelystad as a static exhibit.
