Since reading all the B17 articles on this site i have come to realize that some of the what i thought were helicopter parts on the point back in the late 70’s were actually B17 parts, that would of been amazing to know back when i was a kid. growing up we were told don’t go to the point at night as there is the ghost of an RAF Airman who is looking for his crew and Lancaster Bomber, scared us to death story must of originated from the B17 crash and been changed over the years.
