Remembering the American crew of Mosquito NFXVII - HK289
Although faint and weathered the stone reads as follows:
Near this place Lt J. Black USNAF Pilot and Lt T. Aitken USNAF Nav(igator) gave their lives in defence of this country returning from operational duties on Nov 14 1944.
Greater love hath no man than this. That a man lay down his life for his friends.
It is not unusual to see fresh flowers on the memorial and the surrounding grass neatly trimmed.
