Not seen her since the Big Thunder days.

Looking forward to it now

I heard she was buzzing around the Duxford area yesterday! Great news!!

The Society really deserves some luck this year.

According to their flight schedule pages, Sally B will be appearing at Duxford's Spring Airshow on Sunday, before a series of shows including Cosford, Waddington and Flying Legends. Oh, and she's off to Belgium too, along with '558!

Latest update on Sally Bs problems - the crankshaft bearing has failed again

What a nightmare for them.

They're going to have to get to the bottom of this - that's the third engine in as many years and I don't hear of any other B17's suffering the same issues.

Hopefully, we'll get the chance to see her later in the season.
