Thank you for finding and posting pictures of this wreck site. My wife's grandfather was part of the crew on "batchelors baby". I have been doing a little research on his military career. I did find a crash report about this crash. I wish I could have talked to him about it, but sadly he passed away 10 years ago long before I could meet him. Again...Thank you very much!
Thanks I was surprised they came out as the rain and wind was awful that day ! good luck with your research it's nice to hear the lives of these brave men kept alive !
