Movie Memphis Belle to portray Swamp Ghost?

Post by TAdan »

Fantasy of Flight just posted this on their Facebook page:
The Talichet "Memphis Belle" B-17E flew in today to get dolled up for an upcoming documentary on “The Swamp Ghost.” This plane stood in for the real Memphis Belle in the movie as her namesake is under restoration at the USAF museum in Ohio. While she's here she'll get a movie paint job as The Swamp Ghost to film some scenes for a special on that aircraft.

Anyone have any more information on this?
So many warbirds so little time.

"The Tallichet 'Memphis Belle' B-17E flew in today".

I'd chalk that up to a typo or simple mistake by the FoF social media folks.

Kermit Weeks posted a few pictures of the Movie Belle wearing some temporary paint on his Facebook page. They can be seen here:

I look forward to finding out what this documentary will be all about. I have my fingers crossed that it will be well done.
