Has there ever been a televised Dig that Steve Vizzard has not been on?

He is the “Davina McCall” * of the genre

* Pops up everywhere

(role previously held by Carol Vorderman)

Its a very substantial recovery – large chunks of the tail, several guns, tail leg, and some other good pieces.

Quite interesting!

Anyone have an ID for it?

Air Ministry, ist January, 1945.
The KING has been graciously pleased to
approve the following awards: —

Warrant Officers.
John DE LITTLE (745291), R.A.F.V.R.

So he would not have been on Air Force List 1940

This is supposed to be Captain Albert Abraham (#O-442349) Aircraft according to one report. If so it is probably P-51D 44-15302 which was lost on 9th April 1945 – MACR 13788

Lost Location: 10 Miles W Of Don Maung Af
Point Of Departure: Cox’s Bazar, India

Captain Albert Abraham (#O-442349) was captured alive, and was returned to U S military control after liberation from Bangkok Alien Internment POW Camp (Camp Number 782)

Some sites have it dowsn a 2FG but his usnit was actually the 2nd Fighter Squadron Commando, 2nd Air Commando Group, 10th Air Force

My guess would be correct

My Guess would be is

P8342 Named “CERAM” (NEI) – 306.Sqn, Attacked by Bf109 after take-off and Forced Landed at Biggin Hill 29.8.41 (Sgt. Marcin MACHOWIAK ok)
