The only airworthy B17 outside of the USA, ‘Sally B’ has been based at Duxford since 1975. Since 1989 she has been painted to represent the famous B-17F ‘Memphis Belle’ which was based at nearby Bassingbourn. Although she still retains this scheme, she has now had her chin turret re-installed, which returns her to ‘G’ status. c/n 8693(-VE). She is seen getting airborne at her Duxford base to display at the 2014 D-Day Anniversary Airshow. Imperial War Museum. Duxford, UK. 26-5-2014
