Regarding the B-17, especially the early 90 Sqn ones.
Remember the Oddentification verse?

Whistle whistle little bomb
How I wonder where you’re from
Up above the world so high
There’s a Fortress in the sky

Although the 485 Sqn markings are incorrect.
Part of the serial should be visible ob the day-fighter band
The codes are incorrect, OU was ahead of the roundel and a small Z wwas under the cockpit

Nice though, I would not say no to one!

Re Dave Homewood’s comment regarding the TBF-1, NZ2505.
This aircraft retained the US Navy camouflage paint throughout and was placed in a playground at Opunake Beach, Taranaki. It had the pacific fin flash with US star & bar markings. The paint-work survived quite well given the proximity of the sea.
John Regan recovered it and it was displayed at Silverstream, Lower Hutt, for some years as NZ2518 “Plonky” before being recovered by the RNZAF, mainly for it’s turret.

Defence until Dawn

I have just been able to secure a copy of Leslie Hunt’s book.
Cost about 30 quid but well worth it. I have been seeking a copy for some year now.
