    Some fantastic photos and I hope to get some tomorrow. The pictures of the B17 make me all giddy.. )ooh er matron) I would be far from as big an enthusiast as a lot of people on the aviation forum, but for me the B17 is something very special. From a very young wee man I always was amazed by it in the tv shows I saw about the war. To get to see it tomorrow will be amazing.

    I know the feeling... Sally B's final (very) low pass over lisnabreeny memorial yesterday left me grinning and jumping about like a kid... Am used to all sorts from airshows, but having a B17 zooming low directly overhead was definitely a new experience for me!
