Photo Comment

Tremendous sight at this disused RAF Comms airfield during the making of the film 'Hanover Street'. The Mitchells were taxiing up to this point for the film cameras then doing a 180, backtrack and round over and over again. The identity of this aircraft, painted as 'Big Bad Bonnie/151863', is also quoted by some as 108-34535 working on its original USAAF serial of 44-30210, but it is generally held that 108-33485 is correct. After being allocated to the March Field Museum, the aircraft found its way to Chino where it has been undergoing an extended restoration since the early '90s
