I have placed a few plaques around Ulster, but this is the first one which has been smashed up. The farmer has shown his disgust and has put a marker stone in the field where the crash had taken place. I just do not understand why. I was told that the local residents were happy to have the crash site marked.

Some Irish do not respect British Emblems especially on their soil. I will not impugn, judge or fault them for that. Some have a deep resentment for most things British. I do not think it is justifiable but it may play a part in the defacing of your memorials.

I cast the plaque from the aircraft parts so it is just a basic one just information. I will try to attach a picture.
