My wife’s uncle Robert E. Hardister, Jr. flew this bird out of Bassingbourn, England. He and his crew are shown with Tess in “The Ragged Irregulars Of Bassingbourn” PN&M page 143. I’ve done research over the years hoping to find an 8X10 glossy of that photo but have not been successful. Sadly, I never got to talk with him before he passed.

My grandmother is Mildred Hardister Bartlett and I have a photo with, “uncle Bob” as we called him, in front of the plane. Email me if you would like a copy.
