The Travels of Tel's Tin Tent.

[special ed]

Great! Many thanks. I have B/W views of fwd fuselage from mid wing. Somewhere on my computer I have a video Allen took when he went to Parham about ten years ago, but the glass made details difficult. Apparently his father sent no photos home.

Yes, I've only ever see the B&W pic of the nose.
I'll have a look through my various books on the B-17 and 8th USAAF, just in case, but I don't think there are any other pics.

A minor request Terry. If the Tin Tent should again travel to Parham Field next year, would it be possible to make some more complete shots of the B-17G "Lady Velma" model which is in a display case? A model club member, Allen Perret, unfortunately now deceased, had begun a flying model of that model because his father, Warren Perret, was the bombardier. I have the two shots you posted from your previous trip. My request is because I have the plans, parts and pieces which Allen started and I told his younger brother and family of my intent to finish and fly the model. As I recall from your descriptions of the Parham museum, the exhibits were very crowded, restricting good photography. Anything of markings of the rear half would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks! That's all I have. I plan to do more research as it gets closer to finish, color and markings. Allen's younger brother says the got very little family info on their Dad's wartime life.
