Either Stella at Lytchett or Werewolf at Dawlish...

Delabole, Cleave?

Rescue job is correct and Ireland (Irish Free State) is also correct. Sorry guys
all the rest are not.
The year is 1943 if that helps.

I like the idea Peter, but sadly no.

Ah, was wondering if it was the B-17 that accidently landed at Treligga area near Delabole, wrong - again!

Surely as it had landed in a neutral country(and dont get me started on Devalera!) it and its crew should have been interned for the duration of the war?

Come on you B.17 guys, this should be bread and butter for you. There were a total of
nine B.17 related incidences in Ireland during 1943.

That was the policy from Sept 1939 until about Mar 1941. Then de Valera decided initally
to allow repatriation of allied service personal to Northern Ireland and then assistance was
given in order to allow flyable aircraft to fly out and damaged, but repairable aircraft to be
dismantled by Irish crews and transported to the border and handed over to British or
USAAF transport crews. This was refered to as "Neutral friendly towards the Allies"
