Doesn't she look gorgeous !

The Superfortress is absolutely my all-time favourite aircraft, and what a treat to see 'Doc 'emerging, ready to fly after all the years of hard work by so many dedicated people. What a triumph for all involved !

It's said she will join the CAF's 'Fifi' in displays this summer - who would have thought it would ever happen...two Superforts in formation. :thumbsup: :)

Spanking.
Not my all-time favourite, though. (sorry Paul, to each his own)

Indeed. :) I think it was my dad showing me photos of his time on Washingtons when I was a nipper that ingrained it in me. I always give the Duxford one a pat on the nose when I'm down there. A lovely aircraft IMO ;)

EDIT: A slide show of the event.
