Memphis Belle & H-P Victor

B-17s are grounded world-wide just now.

Nice is that the victor behind the B17

You lucky Devil, what a treat

Hi Paul,

Yes it is the only Victor that was configured for both bombing and refuelling. All the other tankers had the bombing capacity removed. Only 17 years between the first flight of the B-17 and the victor - and 4 years between the Tiger Moth and the B-17. The Moth was a mod of the dH60 which seriously reduced the handling qualities of the aircraft!

Ah yes, Biggles flies undone!
Nice one Allan
