-Out of the 900 photos I'm always drawn to this one, I must ask Fran what this was about.

-In the aerial photo section of Frans Page the first 4 are Knettishall, Fersfield, Great Ashfield and Ridgewell, all taken during a training flight on April 8 1944, two days before 9699 was lost.

-This one has to be somewhere in East Anglia - I'll try to see if Dad recognises where: http://www.416th.com/CachatPhotos/jpg050/j050_874.jpg

-Adrian if he does let me know so we can tag it. Most of the Wethersfield ones were identified by me. There is one of a mansion I think must be near by the base will see if I can find it. 9th AAF HQ was at Marks Farm Braintree just thought it might that. Will add the link when I find it.

Also Stuart? From the farm on the east might find the ww2 crash he thinks may have happened in his field, top one in crashes is Sugarlane Farm.

-I'll see what I can do, though my first thought was that it's in France - I've never seen anything like it locally.

Looks like a Sibel Si-104 or 204 in background.

-No joy with the other one, though. Still think it might be in France (he says, waiting to be proven wrong!).

-You are probably right the 416th moved to an Airfield in France in October 1944.

-Any chance, BTW, you could re-post the photo of the farmers on the other thread?
