Runway Rackheath
Returning from the 29th January 45 Munster mission, the
788th Arthur Anderson crew suffered a nosewheel collapse on landing at Rackheath. They
had occupied the deputy-lead position in the 788th element and used this ship which was
originally assigned as a "spare" for the mission. No injuries or casualties
recorded. Note the extensive snow covering the base, a feature of the winter of 44/45 in
East Anglia
