29th December44 B24J 44-10607 Crash-landing at Attlebridge

Another victim of the scrubbed "fog mission". The 789th Lt. Russell Scott crew bounced on take-off, lost a number of the bombs they were carrying, hit trees at the end of the Rackheath runway, but still managed to stay airborne. Realising the aircraft was badly damaged they opted to return to the airfield at Attlebridge where the fog had lifted. The left landing gear broke off upon landing but all the crew escaped unhurt.
