Fever Beaver - Then and Now - 351ST Hard Stands – No’s 9 and 10

B-17 ‘Fever Beaver’ standing on No 10 Hard Stand showing a long line of mission bomb symbols and very worn paint work.  The squadron and aircraft code are barely visible.  Under the wing, is a very large tree stump that had just been left on the grass and one of the airfield’s Tannoy speakers.  We don’t know why the tree stump had been left there!

Photo 3 was taken between Hard Stands No 9 and No 10 and shows a B-17 on the runway,

a truck on the perimeter / taxiway and behind the truck, the roof of No 2 hanger.

In the foreground, you can see what we think is an oil bowser and the 349^th’s Squadron hard stands in the distance by the trees
