North Wales Anson Memorial

摘要

A memorial service was held in Llandudno Junction, North Wales, on the morning of February 15 for five airmen of 8 (Observer) Advanced Flying Unit who died when their Avro Anson Mk I, N5130, crashed near Marl Farm exactly 70 years earlier. The airmen, three from Britain and one each from Poland and New Zealand, were on a navigational exercise to North Yorkshire from RAF Mona, Anglesey, when the aircraft got into difficulty over Llandudno. It is believed that an aileron broke away, causing loss of control and a spiral dive into the ground.
