There is no paralell in warfare, to such courage and determination in the face of danger, over so long a period. Such devotion, should never be forgotten.

I'm still looking but at this stage, I think it has a Liberator type look about it.

Lines are not right for a B-24, that's of course if it is indeed American, but at this stage, i'm still stumped.

To be honest, i still have no idea with this one. Almost went for a B-18, variant. Reckon it's going to be one of those that, when revealed, i'm going to kick myself.
