Hi James,
Cliff Bishop's wonderful 'Fortresses over Nuthampstead' has the following entry on 42-102506:
Assigned as an original operational aircraft on 5th May 1944. 602-L 'Contrary Mary'. Reported MIA on 15th October 1944, then changed to Abandoned on Continent on 18th October 1944. Reassigned to 398th BG on 20th November 1944 as 602-L and finally Abandoned on Continent on 25th February 1945, after your 23rd February 1945 mission.
suggest you try the official 398th website for any further details (www.398th.org).
