Mitchel

So i couldn't resist it. I went back to the scrapyard, especially after the chap running it explained that he was shutting up and moving back to Arizona! At the time he lived in a caravan behind some wooden fencing next to the massive sheds that housed all of this stuff so i could see what the appeal was in the sunny U.S over a mobile home in High Wycome. Either way he was getting rid of the lot and said if i wanted to shoot it get it done quick as he could have a seller for it. "It" was the constituent parts of a B17 Mitchel which lay all over the site. Two wings and the fusalage sat above his office on the roof and the rest were on shelves. The U.S produced more of these planes in the war than any other and here was one - in bits -in Wycombe. It was sold off to someone with the money and land to evidently rebuild it and have it sitting in their back garden. The whole thing's a bit surreal ....
