Bassingbourn Photographer - The Wabash Cannonball II


Here are twelve photographs found quite by chance within a set of 300 negatives discovered on a bottom shelf at a flea market.

It's a Northrup P-61 "Black Widow" Night Fighter. Only 706 were built. Bassingbourn AF Base in England, was the home of many P-51 Mustangs, b-17 Bombers and a few P-47 Fighters. No one seems to know why this lone "Black Widow" was there in the Winter of 1944-45.

This set of six photographs of this Short Stirling, a very rare aircraft indeed, is part of a book of negatives found at a flea market in 2008.

Included are
a P-61 Black Widow "Wabash Cannonball II,
a 125 mission Lancaster "S for Sugar",
the B-17 “Ack Ack Annie”,
and a bazooka equipped Piper Cub.

Look at these and be amazed.
