Hi Rob,
Seem to remember that a company selling airshow tapes in the U. K. filmed most of that accident. I'm pretty sure I saw it shortly after it happened. I do remember when the other French B-17 blew an engine during a shoot at Duxford the first week of filming. I was sitting on top of the Norwegian A-26 together with the Norwegian P-51 pilot's wife when the call came in. Thinking about it later, you were taken 50 years back in time when a B-17 came home minus one engine, with 51's and B-17's all around both on the ground, and in the air!!!
