Here's the last one. There's quite a few interesting photos of RAF vehicles on the IWM collections website www.iwmcollections.org.uk the best way i've found is to type in 'tender' or 'bowser', but it's still hard to find matches

Of particular interest is the total lack of defensive armament on the B17 in the background, suggesting that this may be one of the trans-Atlantic mail planes. The RCAF's 168 Heavy Transport Squadron hurriedly pressed 6 B17E's into service after roughly painting over the US markings. Perhaps this B17 is one of them?



CHIMO!
