I have found a photo of this aircraft. It is appears to be called “Songoon Rita”. The image is dated May 1945. Not exactly sure what the term “salvaged SAD Abbots Ripton 2/2/45” means in the above status. Saved? Broken apart? For image please see:

The site appears to be dormant. Not sure if one needs to request permission to use the image and I have found no contact info to reach out. Hope this helps.
