Touched the Goose last year. You can tour the interior of the fuselage for free and a trip to the cockpit will cost you.:)

What IS it about that aircraft that makes you want to touch it? I was over in 2002. Driving up the entrance road, I saw the sillouette through the glass and thought ‘Just a big Sunderland’. When I got in and saw it side on… it still looked just a big Sunderland, but then when you get up close its… ‘gawd’!

I think also there’s something about not believing it’s wood, even though you know it is!

Thank you for pointing that out – I had not noticed it, although they are just visible as tiny dots! If they are wing-tip vents, on what is in reality a B-17 wing, then they have to have been fitted prior to the crash date of NC19901, which was 18th March 1939.

The pic in question is below – along with another showing a pair of vents on a 15th AF machine.

But in todays claim culture it just means the vultures are circling as soon as the dust dies down 🙁 .

Actually…. they were probably out of the circuit and on finals BEFORE the dust settled!

It’s their money, their project, done their way – good luck to them!!!!
