Hi,
On 15th December 1944 a fameous jazzman and band leader, Glenn Miller, was suppouse to fly from London to Paris, to give a concert there. His orchestra was already there and during a WWII his band was a music star of a first brightness.
He came on board of Noorodyun Norseman UC 64 A, they started - and .... dissappeared! Never reached the destination. There were spectulations what happend - were they shot down by a German intruder? Did they crash due to machine failure or due to poor weather and iceing of machine? Recently, it is rather consider that they were hit by bomb released over the Channel by Lancasters, which were returned home due to bad weather condition from a mission without bombing any target.
Many links can be given here, if you want to read more.

The markings are of exactly this machine (the serial 470285 I found in Net) , but it is only a most likely look of her. I have not found a photos of it. Since it was December 1944 she shoud have overpainted D-Day strips from the top.
The kit is from Revell, originally Matchbox. Few details added.
Regards and comments welcomed
