Just been buzzed by a

B17 flying fortress.
Wow, noisey blighter, mad dash upstairs to get the camera and a long lense as it was looping about 1/2 a mile out, all set up for the next pass and it comes right over head at 2 - 3 hundred ft and too close for the chuffing lense and my reactions. Trees obscured it until over head, if I hadnt been in such a flap I would have had the common sense to go down the garden and had a far better chance. beep beep beep A memorial fly past for a crew lost during WW2 they where in a plane that flew into the cave hill in heavy fog 1/6/44.

Wonder if it was making its way to the Southend on Sea air show? The event is always held over 2 days (Sun & BH Monday). Scott went and was hailed on :shock: what's happening weather wise?
