Harald Rduch, I am one of the granddaughters of the main Peters Pride Crew, the Ferguson-Mayer crew, who were on rnr when it was taken up by the Babbinton crew and unfortunately shot down. I have looked for this plane crash site for years and would be ever so grateful if we could connect. I am revising my book for republication and would love to include any photos and information of the crash. Good wishes to you

My Grandfather was the Captain of Peters Pride, John Hatcher Ferguson. Sadly growing up, he kept to himself and I was too young to understnd and never really connected to him.
