Re: 38 Group Halifax & Stirling identity request
Another Stirling LK130 of 299 Sqn had its glider cast off due to turbulence and it also landed at Martlesham on 18th Sept 1944. LK130 then landed and reconnected the glider and flew on to Holland where the glider was released at a place called Son.
Out of interest Martlesham Heath also had a glider cast off on 17th Sept 1944 by Dakota KG563 of 437 Sqn RCAF, so was quite busy in this respect.
As for the Halifax I'm wondering if it was from Bomber Command, as I can find no trace of an abort for one on 18th Sept. Are you certain your photo was taken on 18th and not on subsequent days of the Operation?
