i went down to a place today where there is small museum run by local chaps intrested in avation.it is inST Osyths near Clacton Essex England and in it are all manor or parts from planes that have been found in the area or out at sea.
there main exhibt is the remains of a mustang that crashed in 1945 1 mile off shore from engine faliure,the pilot ditched in the sea and although rescued by the life boat the poor airman died of exposure.
His name was Raymond E king 479th FG 436th FS another hero forgotten by most except his family and some of the guys in Essex.
