8/6/2007 5:56:48 PM | A few years ago now I found Mr Hiram Hardesty's website, which held a number of photographs taken by him I recognised from the Blue Book.
I believe he was a Flight Surgeon with the 614th Bomb Squadron.
Sadly it seems Mr Hardesty passed away a few years ago and his website was closed down.
The archived site is viewable HERE, but many of the photo's were not archived.
I have attached those that were below.
Cpt. H Hardesty.
Deenethorpe Base HQ
Which Site was the 614th billeted on? The photo below seems to show Site No.7.
Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament
I wonder if the Association is still in contact with Mr Hardesty's family, and if copies of his wonderful photo's (some, as it can be seen, in colour) are in the Association's records and available for viewing.
All the best,
Paul

I seem to recall Mr Hardesty passed away around about 2002, if that's of use.
All the best,

Further, if the 614th's nickname was the "Screamin' Demons", does anyone know what the nickname of the 615th was?
