After nearly 30 years surely it is time to change the markings on Sally B?

I can understand it generated profits from merchandising, publicity etc from the Memphis Belle movie for a while, but these days outside of aviation circles that movie is pretty much forgotten.

I should imagine that Youtuber’s comment is just an ill informed opinion from an arm chair enthusiast who thinks they know everything but know very little.

The replies to that comment sum it up…

I have been following the restoration on the NMUSAF Facebook page. Found it infuriating the amount of people asking if/when it would fly, or the arm chair experts demanding that it SHOULD fly.

I think this particular B-17 is fairly rare among the surviving Forts, being a Boeing built example rather than Douglas or Lockheed-Vega.

Hope that they get it and the B-24 under cover in the not too distant future.

So glad that KB882 is finally undercover. Now for KB839…

I think Karl Kjarsgaard is a miracle worker for all that he has done for Canadian Halifaxes, I just wish there was someone who could bring another example to the UK.

Of course the UK had the late Ian Robinson and his team to thank for the YAM Halifax, but they were more limited by budget and what was available at the time.

Just my opinion, but the Hercules engined Halifax was the best looking British bomber of the war, after the Mosquito.
