Today we visited Colchester Zoo, Paul and I haven't been in about 5 yrs, so it was nice to go back and take Joshua with us.

 

Here is one of the male elephants in an enclosure on their own. They are such amazing animals and I love how wrinkly they are.

Pilot F/O Raymond E. King

479th Fighter Group. 436th Fighter Squadron.

 

On January 13th 1945, Raymond King, based at Wattisham was on an escort mission when he experienced engine failure and ditched his aircraft just 800 yards from the seafront at Clacton.

Although rescued by the crew of the Clacton lifeboat he never survived his ordeal in the bitterly cold sea and tragically died from hypothermia.

He was buried at The American Cemetery at Madingley, and after the war was returned to the United States.

The aircraft was recovered from the sea in 1987.
