Does anybody on this learned forum have the I.D. of a USAAC B-17 which attempted to land with engines out at Heston on the way back from a raid ….it over-ran to the north west into a field near Watersplash Lane at the southeast corner of Hayes…date vague but probably before the V1 period as an eye-witness remembers a V1 falling in the same area after the B-17 over-run

No worries. That list should be all the US aircraft listed as having had an accident at Heston. No guarantees re: aircraft which came down in nearby villages, or incorrectly listed as “Hetson” or similar.
