Hi there! Ilived in La bruyère during 13 years, and during that time a gentlemen from the village (André-Marie Lebrun)did a full research on the Don Hadley belly landing. He found the member of the crew who were still alive ( Hadley, Maki, Hites and Griffin)and we welcomed them for a few days. Very nice guys! This was around 1993-94! God bless those heros!
