    Thanks to Bomberflight for the splendid B-17G updates. I hope the grey undersides will be darker than the previous finish as Neutral Grey was a much darker hue on wartime aircraft,and will look more authentic.
    By the way this is no criticism of the work but important to get it right at this stage of the proceedings.

    Thank you UEA for providing this many hours of happy viewing and its National Lottery funded.

    Thanks people for the help. SR386 is the only one I have not found,managed to compile the others . My interest is in No.100 Group aircraft and filling in the gaps of knowledge in “Confound and Destroy” by Martin Streetly a benchmark book. Steve Bonds new book”Special Ops Liberators” is a great history of the RAF B-24s of No.223 Squadron operating from Oulton.
