350th Sqdn.. This crew joined the 100th on 25 Aug 1943.

Lt Grenier is often referred to as "The Man who came to dinner. Legend has it that he arrived at Thorpe Abbotts and flew the above mission without having time to unpack. This may not be 100 percent accurate, records indicate Lt Grenier and his crew were on the base about twelve days prior to the 6 Sep 43 mission. None the less in 100th lore he is and will remain "The Man who came to dinner."
