A little grass, a few shrubs, and maybe a small white picket fence.

What's that "notch" on the belly of the B-17, just behind the rear door?

"A chorus of school children rehearsing for the video to Pink Floyd's classic 1979 song "Another Brick In The Wall Pt II""

Claim-to-fame... A girl I used to date in the UK many years ago's brother is one of the school kids in the video to the song. Pink Floyd used children from Islington Green Comprehensive in London in the chorus and the video.
