    Eight B17’s! If they all make it would it be some sort of record for an air display?

    Quite right it is KA114, I wrote down KA114 and typed KA115!

    Age, old age…..

    Many thanks J Boyle for the extra information on make and type.

    The photo’s themselves had only the name of the ship written on them.

    Once I’d magnified the Duck photo and got the BuNo, a quick search on the web connected it to Project High Jump (although incorrectly atributed it to the HNS-1).

    Mmmm, I’m having difficulty seeing my own pictures.

    Can anyone else view them? They appeared to upload and display OK initially.

    Thanks Peter. I’m really looking forward to seeing how it comes together.

    One of the first flying warbirds I’d ever seen was RR299 (at Duxford) during my first visit to the UK in 1984.

    And now the possibility of seeing one fly in my home country. Who would have thought?

    One of Craig Charleston’s 109E’s perhaps?

    The Preserved Axis Aircraft site lists Charleston Aviation Services as having two 109E’s under restoration. Is it reasonable to assume that since he did the David Price 109 that the others are somewhere near flying? Although being a non-UK resident I have no idea whether it’s possible.

    Stephen Grey has a son who is actively involved in The Fighter Collection, I presume he would take over in the future?
