Being a part owner of this plane, I would like it returned!
Dont know if anyone is aware, but there was a USAF base at Goxhill Haven, near here, and the planes were these P38 things.
Anyway, in 1944 a few of them crashed nearby, killing the pilots. One was identified ; a captain from upstate New York. There is a campaign by the Royal British Legion to have a memorial stone put down.
Unfortunately this is all I know. My Grandad and Gran told me, but they are long gone.
I ll try to find out a bit more.
