349th Sqdn. Crew,as above, taken from the MACR. This was the ninth mission for this crew. Plane was named after Frank Harte's Girlfriend.  



It appears that on 22/4/44, fighters damaged this A/C,particularly #3 engine,and it began to lag. 

Witnesses saw the crew attempting to jettison equipment from a/c. It appears that all ten men did 

bail out although Sgt.McDonald was badly wounded before leaving the ship. Some of the crew felt that Lt 

Harte & Lt Conley may have been killed by German civilians or soldiers after they landed.
