Thanks very much, Glenn, Hugh and Grant.
I thought I hadn't taken many of the resident B-17G, 'Sally B', as I already have loads, but it turned out I'd taken loads more !
So here's a few for all those 'Fortress Fans'.

How many single seat fighters does the BBMF have now? Two Hurris and three or four Spittys? They should sell off a couple of those Spits and put some other good stuff back in the air, maybe the RAF Museum's Typhoon or even the Defiant!
 
Great pics chaps.
Grant, yes, it's four Spits, two Hurricanes, the Lancaster, Dakota and Chipmunk with the BBMF. Although it would be nice to see both the Typhoon and Defiant in the air, as they are the sole remaining examples, I doubt it would happen, and the Typhoon in particular (currently in Canada on loan for two years) is incomplete, with many 'replicated' parts. I think also that the Defiant, recently restored, would possibly not be airworthy.
 
Talking off the BBMF, here they are taking off. In order; Hurricane MkIIc, Spitfire MkIX, Spitfire LF XVI, Hurricane MkIIc, Spitfire MkV and Spitfire MkIIa, the last a veteran of the Battle.
