B17G '568' Ditching - Formerly 'Little Davey II' - #Ramsholt, Suffolk, 1945

This is the separated segment of the B17G ' 568' previously named 'Little Davey II' story, which ditched in the River Deben, shortly after leaving Debach, coupled with the thoughts and memories of George Collins. George, now 92, was 14 at the time but remembers the events well. It must be noted that the name was removed from aircraft in December 1944 at the request of original Pilot, Lt Carroll Bracy, when he completed his tour on 30th November 1944 and the Aircraft referred to as "568" by subsequent crews from this time, but it has been widely, and incorrectly, remembered as 'Little Davey II,' often in articles through the years.
