All the villagers, led by the Mayor attended the grave side. One crew member George Dowling was represented by family members from Australia. Mary Kemp and her grandson George because
of all the research we had done and so we felt we were representing Arthur
and the other two British crew men involved. |

There were several villagers
who remembered the crash. The lady in grey who was 11 or 12 at the time, had seen George Dowling dead, his body still intact in his rear gunner position. It had affected her all her life and she was very emotional when she met the Australian family. |
With sincere thanks to Mary Kemp for these
marvellous photographs.
