Hello Alain57,

on 15 May 1943 a test flight of the P-47 C-5-RE 41-6397 (LM-S, 62nd FS) ended with a belly landing at Hellesdon Golf Course, Hertfordshire, Norfolk. The pilot 2nd Lt Peterson escaped with only minor cuts and bruises. Photos in www.56thfightergroup.co.uk/crashreport.htm.
A loss of this plane on 29 April 1943 is incredibly.

Regards
Leo
