Tail gunner Jerry McClure and ball turret gunner Dale Mummert standing beside Boeing B-17F Flying Fortress, USAAF Ser. No. 42-3352, "Virgin's Delight." Neither would be aboard this aircraft when it was shot down and crashed into the North Sea on November 29, 1943, with the loss of nine of its ten crew. See: www.americanairmuseum.com/aircraft/6423

Perhaps you should explain why you tag this as 44-85531? Short answer is that General Enterprises thought they had bought that one, but somebody with the Agency must have checked because already after some 8 months in use the FAA was notified they wanted to change the identity of the aircraft. N207EV was the new registration this aircraft got in March 1979. For all James Bond fans, this was the aircraft used in the film Thunderball from 1965. The Fulton gear was still intact by then. Stig

We can also see that the assigned unit code QW was not carried, only the individual code G. Aircraft does not seem very much damaged, so it was probably enough with a ground check before it went back to England. Stig
