Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Monument in Cowleaze Wood, near Lewknor, Oxfordshire, to the crew of an RAF Halifax Mk III bomber aircraft that crashed on 31 March 1944. The aircraft was LW579 of 51 Squadron RAF based at RAF Snaith in Yorkshire. It had taken part in a raid on Nuremberg and successfully returned to England, but seemed to be off course and for unknown reasons lost height and crashed into the hill. People who find the monument tend to put a fir cone on top, it being one of the nearest objects readily to hand.
