byeo Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Anyone spot the aircraft just fly over S12 heading towards Rother Valley/M1 ? Was really low, not sure what it was, too large for a Spitfire and neither was it a Lancaster as it only had two engines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFKvsNixon Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Search google for : Boeing B-17G registration G-BEDF (Flight radar app comes in handy at times!) The B-17 has four engines though, and the OP said that the plane that they had spotted had 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
