c/n 32376(-DL) Actual US military serial 44-83735. One of several B-17s to fly with French Surveying Company IGN, she came to Duxford by road in the mid-1970’s. She was originally restored as ‘Mary Alice’ with the tail number ‘231983’, but a recent repaint has seen her put into an uncoded ‘as new’ scheme with a different false tail number. During the refurbishment of the American Air Museum, she was temporarily housed in the Annex of the ‘Airspace’ Hangar. This allowed an almost clear shot to be had.
