I'm not sure where the original information was obtained from, there was no AAF station 336 at Buckley, Flintshire that I can find, definitely no airfield. The MACR (14054, see sources) has this aircraft missing at Amrum, Germany (55.11N-11.00E). According to wikipedia 653 Bombardment Squadron (Heavy, Weather Reconnaissance) was based at RAF Watton, England (Sta.376) from 9 August 1944 to 5 August 1945 (Neil 2EV)
