Alfred Marcello
231404 LD-V at Honington (I believe this is wrong code (LN-V) and should be LD-V since Nelson King LD-V was in repairs at Honington, this plane would have replaced it at thorpe Abbotts and gained the ID code of V. Once Nelson King was returned to Thorpe Abbotts, the code could have changed to T...MPF)
Capt. Frank Lauro Crew flew this plane on their last missions.
