Today, 22nd March, is the 67th memorial of the crash of the Halifax and I am pleased to report that the Memorial project continues apace and that we have now placed the order for the stone with Alan, Rice and Tapper in Moordown. We are now hoping for early May for the dedication. We are particularly anxious to have it as soon as possible as, thanks to the hard work of two gentlemen, one in Scotland and one in Yorkshire, who have been able to find relatives of some members of the crew and they would like to come over, so the sooner the project is finished the better. Contrary to what we thought about last year the memorial is scheduled to stand on the corner of Meadow Court Close which is as
close as we can get to the actual crash site and will be visible for all to see.
At a small tea party that was held, courtesy of Moordown Conservative Club, Martin Dowse from Meridian TV, was there and interviewed several of the people. It will appear sometime this week on the 6.pm local Meridian news. It was a very enjoyable afternoon and enabled many people to either learn more about the crash or renew old acquaintances.
