These images were taken at the Bigginhill Festival of Flight Airshow in 2017. It's amazing to think this is the only one left flying in Europe and is now some 70 years old.
The smoke coming out of her engines, is a salute to those wartime pilots that were lost during WWII.
Hopefully I shall get to see more of her flying this year :)

Beautiful pictures! I checked on wiki the story of this plane. It looks that it didn't made it to WW2, still a piece of history:
Built at Vega Burbank as B-17G. Placed in storage after delivery. Sent to Wright Field in 1948. Leased to General Electric in 1950. Sold in 1954 to Institut géographique national, and used until 1975 as survey plane. Purchased in 1975 by Ted White, restored to WW2 configuration and named "Sally B" after his partner, Elly Sallingboe.

Thanks @steemmilionaire Yep, your right it missed the war. The people that keep this flying do an amazing job considering how old it is. :)
