Many thanks Atcham Tower, that gives me a good starting point. We live a few hundred yards from the crash site, and I think it would be a good thing if the men concerned were remembered in some way localy.
I am starting by trying to make up some sort of information booklet, which I can use to make people aware of the event. There is a primary school and a church very close to the site, so maybe it could be used as a project for the kids and maybe the church could host a memeorial of some sort?
I have no expirience of this kind of thing, but we all start somewere!
