I have a family interest in Lt Lawrence Blaisdell who flew Salty Dog. He was a visitor to Langley Hall Saffron Walden Essex England during his service with USAAF in England. I have received some pictures of Lt Blaisdell, from his great grand daughter
Harland. I have been unable to connect to her again. I would be interested to understand why Lt Blaisdell was at RAF Nuthamsted given his operational tripe were from Polbrook. Ant crew members who could contact me I would appreciate.
