Re: B17 Flying Fortress at Fairey Aviation Heathrow

Hi Larry,

I spoke to my father earlier and have obtained a little more information.

The plane landed overnight i.e. it wasn't there when he went home, but was there the following morning. The weather was fine so it was possibly in the summer. It landed normally on its undercarriage and was flown out the same day that they first saw it. He doesn't remember any markings. Understandably it's a bit vague these days, after all he was 15 at the time and it was a long time ago.

Hope this helps

Kevin
