Hi everybody - this is Evan's dad Tim sharing some sad news. Our friend Jack Burke passed away over the weekend. Evan and I first met Jack under the wing of the Collings Foundation's B-17. Evan had just fallen in love with all things aviation and I'll never forget Evans wide eyes and slack jaw as he sat at Jacks feet and Jack told Evan stories.
Jack flew as a B-17 ball turret gunner in WWII over Germany from '43 into '44. We became good friends with Jack and spent many afternoons hanging out with him. Jack and Evan really hit it off. Evan's quite the trooper and is handling it fairly well but he's sad - as am I.

Europe Trip #26: IWM Duxford - 7 - Another Hanger A from Rodney's Aviation Ramblings by Rodney
After the American Hanger I headed for another hanger with a different set of aircraft in it. In the case, they were mainly RAF operated aircraft from World War Two onwards.

This one crashed during the war, and is preserved and displayed pretty much as it was when it came to grief! Awesome :-)
