Good Day All -

I've finally finished scanning the photos from the Prairie Aviation Museum. An interesting set is this unwanted meeting of two B-24s. According to Joe Baugher's site:

"42-52745 (487th BG, 838th BS, "Virgin Vampire") collided with 41-29482 at end of runway while landing at base at Lavenham, Suffolk May 30, 1944. All crew OK."

Enjoy the Day! Mark

Now do you understand why states are enacting 'no texting while driving' laws? :lol:

... and I doubt that either ship had OnStar™ with automatic emergency response calling upon air bag deployment :-)

Enjoy the Day! Mark

Ramp space was at a premium that day.
