Lancaster crash – memorial service

It was a great dedication service, in a stunning riverside location with a tremendous turnout of people; it’s a shame that the windy conditions prevented the flypast this afternoon.

I was stood next to two New Zealand realtives of Guy Dunlop and Richard Staples from JBI25, who were both very moved by the gathering.

Helen Nall’s book “The Courage of the Small Hours” looks to be an excellent read.

Lancasters JB125 & LM308

Today we attended the Memorial Service at Hoveringham, below is a photo of the rather impressive memorial to the two crews.

Lancaster JB125

Sergeant Sedgley was one of the air gunners on Lancaster JB125; I have a page for this aircraft on my website here.
