The other airworthy Flying Fortress in Britain is, of course, B-17 Sally B. She now sports a new overall olive drab scheme, which has been applied at a cost of £7,000 to protect her ageing aluminium skin. A sponsor is being sought. The markings represent a B-17G of the 709th Bombardment Squadron, 447th Bombardment Group, based at Rattlesden, Suffolk, early in 1945.
