Lovely bike, lovely composition.
There is a flying B-17 stationed at Duxford. In the summer it often flies around. If I recall correctly one of its inboard engines always overheats so they keep flying hours to a minimum. Unfortunately because it has four engines the insurance policy cost is the same as a 747 passenger jet!

But I'll ask them anyways if they want to do some formation flying with my B-17 - you never know.
