In de nacht van 22 op 23 juni 1943 was de viermotorige Engelse Halifax
bommenwerper W7930 EY-W op weg naar het Ruhrgebied om deel te nemen aan de
luchtstrijd. Het toestel werd aangeschoten door luchtafweergeschut bij Soesterberg.
Ten zuidwesten van Renswoude volgde een fataal luchtgevecht met een Duitse
nachtjager. De Halifax stortte neer op de boerderij "De Wetering" welke volledig werd
verwoest. De zeven bemanningsleden van de Engelse bommenwerper kwamen allen

om het leven. De bewoners van de boerderij, de familie Vlastuin, kwamen met de schik vrij.
