RAF memorial - WW2 -Cheviot hills
We were surprised to come across this memorial to the airmen killed in WW2 when their planes crashed in the Cheviot Hills. It's a lonely setting in the College Valley and vert atmospheric. The laminated A4 sheet was left in memory by a couple of Dutch families who have memories of the contribution that these airmen made 60 plus years ago.
