B-17F # 42-30184 "Muggs"
Anybody know the reason for a B-17F flown by Curtis R. Biddick of 100BG 8th USAF, 418thBS making an emergency landing at RAF Fraserburgh on 24/7/43?
The aircraft was based at Thorpe-Abbots and the target was Trondheim in Norway. The 1st Norweigan target of the 8 USAF.
The aircraft landed but overshot and went off the end of the Runway and into a ditch. Another B-17F came up carrying spares to make the aircraft serviceable.
