  1. I haven't followed the full story, but I have a real instance of a B-17 being recovered that I want illustrated artistically - but then seeing your stuff it occurs to me that a diorama or model might be better. YB-40 25732, a B-17F variant forced landed near Uig on the Isle of Lewis in May 1943. It was dismantled on site and roaded 40 miles over dirt roads, reassembled and flown out. This was a mammoth effort. But, although I have eye-witness accounts, there are no photographs. I've written an article on this for an aviation magazine, but illustrations of the actual event are obviously a problem. I'm not certain what I'm offering here, but the local museum could be interested in a diorama or model as well as my interest for my article. I'd like to make contact to see what might be possible. Regards, Graham (Currently on the Isle of Lewis, but normally resident in Somerset)
