| I am trying to learn more about my grandfather, Clayton Allen Scott.  I know that he was stationed at Deenethorpe during WWII as either a Lt. Colonel or Colonel, and that he received an OBE (Order of the British Empire) for his actions following the B-17 crash.  If anyone knew him or can provide information about what he did while stationed there, I would be deeply indebted.  I am also interested in knowing more about the crash.<br/> <br/> Thankyou<br/>
