    Lancaster crew

    These chaps appeared at the tail of PA474 at RAF Leuchars 2002 Battle of Britain display. As far as I know, they didn’t crew the aircraft ( Black overalls with white bonedomes was their chosen attire.) I have no other information, and would be interested to find out more.

    The 398th left Hethel in May 1945 and all military flying ceased there in 1947.

    There’s a short mention of the incident in “Airfield Focus” No.53
    Hethel.
    “The B-50 landed without without landing aids or runway lights in darkness and pouring rain, It finished up to the tops of its undercarriage in mud with little damage and the crew unhurt. For a few days afterwards a C-47 Dakota flew in daily with a working party, preparing the the B-50 for when it later made a successful take off.”
    A copy of probably the same photograph appears, with the aircraft nose high in the aforementioned mud. The letter in the triangle on the tail is indistinct.

    The flying shot was taken with a Praktica L, fitted with a 135mm lens, using Kodachrome II (25 ASA) :rolleyes:

    I took this photo at Biggin Hill in 1974 (Battle of Britain.) Does anybody know if the display pilot was Ray Hanna or Neil Williams?

    This was the only warbird picture I took in 2003 where you can see who the pilot is:)
