17th May 2012

On this date members of the Assocation, not being able to attend the commemoration earlier in the month, visited Rebecq for an afternoon and evening in order to pay their respects at the Memorial, laying a wreath on behalf of 550 Squadron and North Killingholme Association.

The Memorial itself is located just 200m from the crash site, and the site had been marked out on the tree-line by the placing of a Union Flag at one end of the wreckage and a Canadian flag at the other and both visible to people at the Memorial.

Our thanks to the people of Rebecq for their hospitality and the wonderful efforts they have made to remember this crew who failed to return home to North Killingholme.
