Indian Head, thanks so much with the help buying that barrel of oil. I am sure Don Brooks & crew appreciate it very much. I hope everything goes well.

Two crops off the same shot at Duxford for Indian Head !

Sending the TFC's "Follow Me" jeep out to bring the B-17 around was a really nice touch. :D

The heat haze has destined a lot of shots to the digital dustbin ~ these are just too fuzy to keep really, but it gives a flavour of the arrival.

This is at 400mm ( 680mm with the digital camera body )

It's lunchtime in the UK. I've just been out to the bank. Imagine my surprise to see the Liberty Belle sail serenely over Central London !

Maybe a media flight out of Biggin Hill, maybe they are heading back to Duxford .......

Flight Explorer still shows her as being somewhere in the middle of England. :shock:

Updated 13:05 BST ........

Just had a text to say she's landed safely back at Duxford :D
