Charles Davidson & "The Hell'n Pelican
II"
Pilot of A-20G "The Hell'n Pelican II" 42-86786 Charles
Davidson, is reunited with his aircraft after more than half a century. The photo
was taken at Amberley in
Australia. The aircraft was salvaged by the RAAF in 1984 after Michael
Claringbould found it in 1976, but it was not finally restored until 1997
(see Aerothentic Publications)
The aircraft was forced-landed by Charles Davidson, seen here, on 16th April
1944 because of a large weather build up, and was recovered by the RAAF in 1984
for restoration. If you think Charles looks happy, you are correct. Credit: Michael ClaringbouldDate: 1996
