I visited the site recently sans camera, otherwise I would have photographed the Plaque.

I do however have a photograph of the wreath laid by his colleagues on the site a few days after the accident.

It might interest you to know that the townspeople of Lauder have mixed memories of the crash.

Along with the sorrow at the loss of two young lives, they remember the great way that they were treated by the US recovery and investigation crew who were in the town for a good while after the accident.

When all was over, they laid on a good ole U S of A barbecue for the whole town, as a thank you for the hospitality and by way of an apology for the inconvenience and and uwanted attention the little town had received..
