A LONELY MEMPHIS BELLE B17

I was at Duxford UK recently to watch the remaining UK Flying Fortress take off. What a manificent sight, it reminded me of the film Memphis Belle and the use of this war time B17 I believe. Of course, they say it's haunted. The base once home to the bomber group stands in the late shadows of the evening with no-one about,- well almost!

A great place to be if you are interested in the battle of Britain or the Americans that served in England during the 2nd world war...the planes and the flying equipment, momentoes and documents are well worth seeing. Afterwards you can sit and watch the old newsreels and the live action from the many sky battles. On www.worldwidetraveltips.co.uk there is a page dedicated to this.

I visited this small but idylic Tudor cottage town almost as it appeared in those days with just a little imposing traffic now to disfigure an out of time view in the camera. Peaceful and relaxing, this once witch occupied town fell asleep in the late afternoon and my walking about seemed to be an annoyance to those creaky old buildings along the front and back streets.
