Get a different Nose art for the Fort. The "Belle" was a F model not a G.

As stated, the chin turret was removed for the movie, a "F" type top turret added, and other mods made. The "Belle" nose art is retained on the starboard side only, to match the (retained) 91st BG markings from the movie.

Yeah I get that and my statement still stands!

Well, maybe when the owners have the time and money, it'll be re-painted overall (fairly costly), but meanwhile, it continues to fly at air shows across the UK and Europe, the only one airworthy this side of the Pond, as a tribute to all those lost from the USAAF.

And at least it is STILL flying. We've lost to many of recent years. Aluminum Overcast, Texas Raiders and Nine O' Nine just to name three.
