2nd April 2020

Due to the spread of the devastating Coronavirus,
Sally B’s 45th display season now looks extremely uncertain.

When IWM closed its doors to the public on the 18th March,
I had to make the upsetting decision to suspend all work
on Sally B by our superb engineering team until things change.

As I write this, it is impossible to predict how long it will be until it is safe for any of us
to continue with our work on Sally B or indeed when or if she will fly this season.

While we wait for better times,
it is good to know that our B-17’s maintenance work has almost been completed
and that Sally B is safe under cover in hangar T2 North at Duxford
where she will remain till things improve.

Thank you, our dear members and friends,
for your invaluable help throughout the past many years.

Keep well, keep healthy

B-17 Operator & Chairman of Trustees
