I am doing research into the events surrounding this aircraft. I am still in search of a picture of Bombardier 2Lt Howard N Mullaney, Flight Engineer Sgt Lionel Smith and Waist Gunner (l) SSgt Harry E Tate. I would also love to get in touch with relatives of the crew, if you read this, please do not hesitate to contact me!
