Crashed |
Beccles, Beccles, Suffolk NR34, UK | 12 August 1944 | Ran low on fuel due to weather and course corrections. Had to crash land at RAF Beccles. The landing was made more difficult because when the crew was discarding things to lighten the aircraft, one of the waist windows had plastered it's self to the horizontal stabilizer. The Rolland Bushner Crew was flying her this day |
