Former Duxford Airfield deputy director David Lee’s rather more readily portable keepsake commemorating CSA’s use of the Tupolev Tu-104A on its international routes.

A photograph of an unidentified Consolidated B-24 undergoing engine maintenance on the Adriatic island of Vis was featured on the Air Correspondence pages of TAH30, and Liberator specialist Bob Livingstone was quickly able to identify it as B-24J 44-41044 Lady Duzz of the USAAF’s 764th Bomb Squadron, 461st Bomb Group. The telltale evidence in that picture included the aircraft’s combat number, 18, plus a shapely pair of legs at the very edge of the image. Bob sent us photographs of the aircraft’s remains - fourth from camera in the view of wrecked B-24s and a single Boeing B-17 - in the graveyard at Torretto at the end of World War Two.
