Hi – I am writing a book about aircrew and aircraft losses in Scotland 1939-45, which should be published in 2024. I am hoping to have your permission to publish some of the photos of B-17 42-31604 in Loch Quoich (which is not so far from where I live). Of course I would give your site due credit. Look forward to hearing from you. Thanks in anticipation.
