| Ron Bissland Kenosha, WI | My Uncle Lt Donald Edward Bissland flew the F84 until the end of April,1956 when his fighter crashed in the WASH off Shepherds Grove , Suffolk UK. The plane nor the remains were ever found. My Father was their also.. Lt Alexander Charles Bissland. Anyone recall ever meeting my Uncle? He bought a 1956 MGA while in england in 1956.

Thanks Ron
