Here's a very interesting site with potential for USAAF warbirds and a bit more maybe - first dabble and out pops a view of the Grim Reaper in a U.S. graveyard, with footage of planes being dismantled. Happy surfing!

No, not at all - but while you're back there you'd have to sell me your jeep for £25 :D

Even without really freeze-framing ever second you can see B-17's from the:

94th Rougham
447th Rattlesden
303rd Molesworth

That pilot was buzzing really low in that shot.

When I visited Kingman Arizona in 2006 is looked exactly the same as all the famous photographs and the mountain skyline was very recognisable.

In fact it was only the odd B-17 and B-24 that was missing to make it look identical to the 1946 pictures!
