You’ve already discovered the greatest mystery of this Forum!

My guess is that the wreck is in Ethiopia, which bought 46 B 17As between 1947 and 1953, and used them until 1968.

You’ve got the windscreen all wrong – it should be a rounded shape. Otherwise looks good to me.

If they are in the country I am thinking of, surely the dead hand of bureaucracy would rather let them crumble – unless they can be sold for large shedloads of a certain stable currency, with suitable backhanders all over the place!

112 (Missile) Sqn originated at Woodhall Spa – I was there and one of the original members. IIRC the CO was a certain Sqn Ldr Middlebrook, the same surname as the author of WWII books, and I always wonder if he is one and the same. Of course we had the new improved Mk 2 Bloodhound.
We had the aforementioned T87 TIRs (initially in big wooden crates) and one of the first jobs was to lay ducting out for the cabling to the missile launchers. On the radar side we were all recent graduates from a year-long theoretical course at RAF Newton and didn’t take kindly to being employed as general labourers! Little did we know that hidden inside those crates was a whole year or so of putting large-scale Meccano bits together!
Talk about hands-on!

I get the Danish version of Discovery (just one channel) and am lucky to get one aircraft programme per month – stop moaning, you UK viewers don’t know how lucky you are!
As for train programmes, I haven’t seen one yet, but would be very happy to. My train videos are just about worn out (Gresley Pacifics for ever!)

Of course, having sweated blood getting the T87 going (twice) from giant Airfix kits (about 30 tons if I remember correctly) it hurts to see all the glory going to a little monoplane which wouldn’t know the general direction of where to go without our contribution! In fact we guided it all the way up to the proximity fuse lock-on, about 99.9% of the way, eluding jammers and all sorts of cr*p!
How I miss my 87 now, memories flooding back! You had to love the thing to stand all its idiosyncracies, like the time I blew a dozen 2 kW water-cooled klystrons and thought it was my fault until eventually the manufacturers owned up that it had been a bad batch. I think those things cost about as much as a missile each!

It’s not complete without a T86 (or preferably) T87 radar! With moving aerials!
