Please note: The total of all donations received to date from all sources is $5,500.00 100% of our goal! The story behind the plaque: December 16, 1943 became known to Bomber Command as "Black Thursday" when during the Battle for Berlin, due to the weather in England, more crews and aircraft were lost due to the weather, than to the enemy. One of those aircraft lost, was Lancaster JB657 AR S of 460 Squadron, based at RAF Binbrook in Lincolnshire, UK. The aircraft was commanded by my 21 year old Cousin, Flying Officer FA Randall DFC. His crew of seven lost their lives that night, when they ran out of fuel whilst trying to land and crashed into an ammunition storage facility at RAF Market Stainton UK due to the weather. The plaque was dedicated at the Green in Market Stainton UK, on Saturday May 25, 2024 @ 1300L.
