Didn’t James Stewart fly B17’s over Europe?

Jimmy Stewart flew about 20 combat missions in B17s over Europe, he was in the Air force res in 1959 and then retired a Brigadier General.
BTW I think Harry Secombe was in the five mile snipers 😀

I have to disagree! The first two shots were definitely taken at the Silver Jubilee as the VC10 XV106 is recorded as static at that show, whereas the 1975 show was attended by XV102. The Tornado fin is without much doubt that of XZ630/P12 which first flew on 14/03/77. You’re probably right about the others though.

The tonka was XZ630 as seen here, the 25 flypast was flown by JPs of Support
Command. 🙂

wasnt there an episode of The Twilight Zone that used the same idea but had a pax. on an airliner looking out the window and only he could see the ‘gremlins’ pulling bits off of the aeroplane..?? 😮 was also used in a Simpsons episode with Bart being the only one to see them loosening the wheels on the school bus..!??

anyways, the value of the book has got to be a nice suprise for ‘Bert Van Dalen’ .. thats another one to keep an eye out for at car-boot sales then… :rolleyes:

Yes Neil your right there was, and William shatner was the passenger.

Desperately amusing Mike :rolleyes:

Photographed from an Historic aircraft, extensive use of the Mulberry in an anti-aircraft role protecting troops against what are now historic aircraft.

What a bl**dy lame excuse for puting up photos with no Aviation content
whatsoever, why not post pics of the London Underground or an anderson shelter
and many troops were protected by a hole in the ground. one mention of a P51 in the whole thread. And your going on about a few photographers posting some pics of RIAT.

PS. To Damien and the other Photographers that post on here, when you go somewere else please let us know. 😡

Found this from Air-Pic 1974.
