I've worked through my notes on B17s and I can add a few comments.

I had completely different numbers to you for the FB B17Bs that went to the US and my source notes say "hand written production list from Adam F". I can't find that list anywhere but I'll keep looking.

Bobby Howlings had B17B FB-70-01 briefly in April 1971, in between Craven and May, winning three libres in it. It is said to be ex-Craven Autosport 22 Apr 1971 p31.

As well as the Mike Mather car in 1971, you haven't mentioned the Frank Lord that made a couple of late 1971 Atlantic appearences.

In April 1975, Uwe Jantzen had a B17C in a libre at Llandow.

In June 1977, Kevin Hodgkinson had a 1.1-litre B17 in a sprint at Blackpool.

In April and May 1979, Paul Williams had a B17/35 in a couple of sprints.
