We may see a 2nd world war bomber in the sky over the toon tomorrow. The crew have said they will fly over Campbeltown weather permitting.

A rare sight here, very few are left of this classic aircraft. you will certainly here it anyway!

I saw this in an Ieach article. Bruno Schroeder is involved and he is offering places on board the B-17 for flights around Islay. Lucky b---ers :mrgreen:

Let's hope for a clear day tomorrow and a low fly past.

The plane made it to Islay yesterday... here's the details (and some pics!)

Did no-one get any pictures of it flying over the toon then?

unfortunately weather never came good. they left islay and flew round the fog that was between islay and here in the morning. I was informed that they actually flew at 150ft all the way over, pretty impressive!

You never get a clear day when you really want it...... 150ft... would have been great to watch it fly past....
