| Comparing these two photos of Hard Seventeen taken at about the same time (note the mission markers) a couple of differences come to light:<br/> <br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k227/ramc181/401%20pix/NPDPH17.jpg' /><br/> <br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k227/ramc181/401%20pix/H17crop2a.jpg' /><br/> <br/> The crew photo was obviously taken first (around 23rd September 1944 acording to the official caption), and then H17 has been in for some repair and modification work.<br/> Starting small, a patch has been applied under the last N in seventeen, but most notable is that an AN/ARN-5 Instrument Landing System "bull-horn" antenna has been installed in front of the astrodome.<br/> This then gives a rough date for the AAF ILS equipment being installed at Deenethorpe, to replace the RAF-supplied Beam Approach System.<br/> <br/> And just in case I haven't posted it before, an unidentified B-17 (NOT Hard Seventeen, note the late-pattern windscreen) being refuelled at Deenethorpe:<br/> <br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k227/ramc181/401%20pix/NPDPbow.jpg' /><br/> <br/> TTFN,<br/> Paul <br/><br/>Paul Bellamy<br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='/public/Attachments/ForumNew.MainPage/resource1.png' /><br/>
