She suffered a brake failure on landing at the beginning of the century and ended up in the ditch at the end of the strip. There were attempts to raise funds for a rebuild but in the end she was sent to the Pima Air and Space Museum in Arizona. There also were a pair of red and white de Havilland Heron four-engine airliners being restored out by the T hangars to the east for a few years. A couple of weeks ago the CAF brought out their wonderfully restored B-17G Sentimental Journey to the airport for a long weekend. I visited her and posted a photo essay on the forum, HERE. Bob
