USAAF Liberator Crash
On June 13, 1945, a USAAF Liberator bomber (serial 42-95095) became lost while returning servicemen home to the USA at the end of World War II, and crashed here with loss of all those on board (9 crew and 6 passengers).[1]
The area is classed as a war grave and visitors are expected not to disturb the remnants of the wreckage. A memorial plaque, listing those lost, has been erected by the families and friends of those killed. (see left)
