Re: John E. Russell U.S.A.A.F.
Cheers edwest2
Sorry for the late reply on the above ! The problem with these forums and keeping up with the threads ! The memorial project is coming along nicely and we have a Go Fund Me page, set up for funding the project. https://www.gofundme.com/f/brome-b17...term=undefined We have had some luck with the finding details of the events surrounding the crash. We have obtained the Tower Reports from RAF Alconbury. These confirm, they had flown to Thorpe Abbotts the night before. To lead the mission the following morning. However the mission was scrubbed, hence their attempt to return to Alconbury ! Also, although we cannot a 100% confirm this, it’s thought it was more than likely a fire in the cockpit area, that caused such a fast and dramatic crash, after take off ! All the best Steve A
