By Geoff Fisher On 10 February 1941, a Handley Page Hampden bomber crashed into Bluestone Plantation [north of Cawston], killing all the aircrew, one of which we understand was his 21st birthday.
When the information we have is put together, a plaque will be fixed to the memorial for the 1944 “Lucky Strike” B52 plane crash on Booton Road (thanks to Cawston Parish Council for permission).
Contact has been made with some of the family, who would like to be present at a unveiling. More details to follow…
