Just a Wellington (?) bomber from WWII flying over some 9th tier football in Kent this afternoon.

Andrew Nelson · 1 · 1d ago That’s a B-17 Flying Fortress.
Outside Write (Chris Lee) ⚽️ · 1 · 1d ago Thanks for comfirming - I thought they were bigger, for some reason
Andrew Nelson · 1 · 1d ago It’s crazy how small they are compared to modern aircraft! Here’s a B-17 vs F-15 and F-16.
Outside Write (Chris Lee) ⚽️ · 2 · 1d ago There can’t be that many that are still flying, so I am figuring there’s an air show on somewhere nearby
Andrew Nelson · 1 · 1d ago Yeah, not many. Wikipedia says there are 6 airworthy Forts left. Duxford has one of them, apparently.
