9th August 2008. Garrowby Hill memorial near York. Finally tracked this down after years of searching. It marks the point of impact of a Halifax bomber which crashed on a training flight in heavy cloud during the last war. It basically flew into the top of the hill. All of the crew were killed along with the driver of a milk wagon which was travelling along the road at the time. How unlucky was that? No traffic for miles in any direction and the one vehicle there is gets taken out by a heavy bomber.
