Memphis belle was stationed at (what is now )Bassingbourne Barracks army Training Regiment Royston UK ,the film was filmed there too,along with Full Metal Jacket.If you go there today u will see one of the rotor blades from the plane on the entracne to the Barracks .The control tower is a museum to the plane.
Was a graet film ...how did we all miss that one. -------------------- |

QUOTE(UNDEAD 1 @ 03/09/06 9:29am)  .the guy had 5 kids and i always wondered why he gave it to me? the money value doesnt mean a thing to me at all ! very upset i lost it!  On the glass half full side.... At least before he left, he was glad he could pass the model on to you. Things get mislaid - we aren't perfect. Try to re-focus on the fact you made him happy; you have his other memorabelia that he passed onto you, and also that he could connect to you sharing his past with a youngster like it's a heritage [moreso than with his kids who maybe more into other stuff-or he felt he couldn't discuss that part of his life with them]. btw, what did you mean regarding the model question? I think the best idea is to buy another b17 model kit and make a new one with his actual squadron ID and stuff painted on- put it on a base with a title plate like 'Dedicated to.....' So one day you can pass it on. Maybe that'll help keep the feelings of regret to a minimum and a sense of making up for the loss.
