Hi all,
I'm looking for some links to info for B17 interior (waist gun area) and crew equipment.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
Vic

Vic I have not looked but maybe if you search for Sally B the one at Duxford you might be lucky, or how about a run down one weekend when for a couple of quid towards the upkeep they used to let you have a look inside. If you found a link and emailed them they might even have some pics to let you have as they seem like a good crowd. The film Memphis Belle also had some good views during the flying sequences.

Thanks for the links John.
I've got Memphis Belle on video but that isn't much good for stills.
I've just ordered it on DVD from play.com. It only cost £6.99 and I'll be able to capture some good stills from that.
All the best
Vic
