Tragic, RIP.

At 4.24 in during the ‘Swamp Ghost’ find pictures from the OP’s post, there is a B-17 with a broken rear fuselage, the faded paint shows an RAF roundel on a wing, fuselage & tail markings?

Wonderful to see one flying again.

. I was really just thinking about guidance for the future about how not to libel,

Such matters are rarely ‘black and white’; a solicitor may well threaten legal action over something that is on the margins (either way) of libellous, just to get it removed, thus it is easier for the Admins just to pull the whole thread.

Is this the 1981-vintage series or a remake?

Very sad, RIP.
