Flying B-17?

Do we have a flying B-17 left in the UK?
About 20 minutes ago, something looking very much like one, flew over my house. I wasn't out quick enough to see it from the front, just from the rear as it flew away at about 250ft off the deck. Might be on its way to Duxford - two C-47s came over together last week.
I did get a picture, but I doubt it will tell us much.
Okay - I just got a look at the pic on the large screen and I'd say it's almost definitely a Flying Fortress:

First time I've ever seen one flying - doesn't sound as good as the Lanc, mind
