We flew into Manston yesterday for a change of aircraft and to dash back across the channel. After a few rounds at the base Pub, I flew on to Merc Air HQ in Rochford to pick up something suitable out of the hangers there. Picked up this ol' B-17 and then got ready for the short hop back to Manston.
Had to check out some of the local landmarks in the Thames Estuary
I was having an issue with the Flyin' Fort as it had been so long since I'd last flown it and I think the manual "flew out the window" during the flight over from the states a few years ago.
On final to Manston
Had to find a new parking spot once I was on the ground. Now to figure out where the rest of Flight 19 is hanging out at.

Some more pics from last night:
I'm starting to understand why it was named "Fireball" As soon as I started the engines, it had a couple of engine fires.
Going over the Belgian seaport at Zeebrugge (I worked out of there for a couple of years)
Practicing formation landings.
A Flock of Fortresses
