This aircraft brings back memories of when I was a kid. I can remember sitting in the pilots seat of this crash landed plane pretending to be flying it while it lay in a field with it’s nose against a Nissen hut !

My uncle, Daniel N. Cullen, flew this aircraft with the 332BS/94BG, out of Bury St. Edmunds, East Anglia; I believe his service was between October 1943 and April 1944. Under his command, the aircraft was called „Friday the 13th.“ (A side note: his younger brother, my father, Joseph F. Cullen, flew P-38 (F-5) recons in the South Pacific. He was on active duty there when VJ-Day came.) Daniel passed away about 6 or 7 years ago; my father died on March 22 of this year at the age of 95.
