| I've been hearing through the grapevine that the 303rd are making an aggressive bid to have 'Mary Alice' re-schemed as a 303rd aircraft? If true the 401st really need to step in and out trump the 303rd!! <br/> <br/> Anyone heard any different? <br/><br/>improvise, adapt, overcome<br/>

| I note the WIX thread has now been retitled from the "Mary Alice thread" to the  "Duxford restoration thread".<br/> <br/> That doesn't seem to bode well for seeing the Mary Alice scheme again... <br/><br/>Paul Bellamy<br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='/public/Attachments/ForumNew.MainPage/resource1.png' /><br/>

| I had a meeting at Duxford yesterday, so got there early to take some snaps of how the B-17 looks now she's back in the American Air Museum hangar:<br/> <br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k227/ramc181/401%20pix/DXF1.jpg' /><br/> <br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k227/ramc181/401%20pix/DXF2.jpg' /><br/> <br/> Looking a bit bare on this side now:<br/> <br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k227/ramc181/401%20pix/DXF3.jpg' /><br/> <br/> Chin turret being installed:<br/> <br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k227/ramc181/401%20pix/DXFT1.jpg' /><br/> <br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k227/ramc181/401%20pix/DXF4.jpg' /><br/> <br/> You'll notice she looks very low to the ground in this shot.<br/> That's because the undercarriage legs are currently drained hence the scissors linkage is down on the stops:<br/> <br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k227/ramc181/401%20pix/DXF5.jpg' /><br/> <br/> They are still reasembling the tail section, but the tail turret is just about complete:<br/> <br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k227/ramc181/401%20pix/DXFT2.jpg' /><br/> <br/> A couple of shots of "Uncle Frank's office".<br/> No work was done on the ball turret this time around, we'll have to see what the planned 2014 work will entail:<br/> <br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k227/ramc181/401%20pix/DXFT3B.jpg' /><br/> <br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k227/ramc181/401%20pix/DXFT3A.jpg' /><br/> <br/> Dan Knight's A2 jacket still on display:<br/> <br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k227/ramc181/401%20pix/DXFJ1.jpg' /><br/> <br/> All the best,<br/> Paul <br/><br/>Paul Bellamy<br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='/public/Attachments/ForumNew.MainPage/resource1.png' /><br/>
