Road running B17 fuselage

[Jeff]

Morning, not something you see every day but on my drive home this morning I passed a B17 fuselage anti clockwise on M25 at the LHR junction 😳 code was EP*E, anyone any idea?

Hi Jeff

There were 2 or 3 B-17 replicas being used at Dalton Barracks/Abingdon for the filming of Masters of the Air.
Perhaps it was one of those, although the photos I’ve seen don’t have the code EP-E

Cheers
Phil

The Dalton ones were Y-LD and T-LN, I have pictures

Thanks all, I'm wondering now if there is a different code on each side?

Possible mock up of this one?
