Thank you for finding these pictures. This is a very interesting aircraft. I found the magazine that the article was in. It was July 2006 issue of Fly Past. I assume that posting a scan of the article or photos would be a no no?

Wow! Yeah, I guess the B-17 would have been a little "overpowered" with four turboprops; as a guess, I would say the turboprops put out about twice the SHP as the "standard" Wright Cyclones.
Unless the engines start tearing apart the airframe!OVERPOWERED - there's no such thing!

Ya got a point!See - that still doesn't mean it's overpowered. It means that the airframe is structurally weak!
