My Old Man flew out of Glatton as a waist gunner with the 457th bomb Group. Brought back bits of flak pulled from the aircraft. He kept them with his DFC and "Caterpillar Club" pin. Most of his flight gear came back in his duffel bag along with his 1911A1. It seems they were a bit lax at that time about checking the contents of the bags.

Glatton now a very small flying club, but all the runway lights are still in place alongside the original runway. Its now called Connington Airfield alongside the main A1 road from south to north in England ;)
