Re: B-24 44-40414 491BG/853BS

Alain..... this was a J-160-CO (almost new aircraft), it was Mission 639 and 5 x 491BG B-24s crash-landed, 2 at Woodbridge, 1 at Watton, 1 at Brussels and 44-40414 at Swingfield ( possibly trying for Hawkinge just to the south); 1 also MIA .
It burned on the ground. Code was T8-barS, and had no time to be named.
