For me, standing next to the threshold of the Duxford runway late one afternoon in summer 1989, watching and photographing a stream take-off by 5 B-17s (and a B-25) during the filming of 'Memphis Belle'.

As I type this, I've got the photo in front of me, looking straight down the runway, with the final '17 tail-up, just about to lift off, and the other 4, plus the B-25, climbing away.

Wow, a summer never to be forgotten!
