A memorial’s been unveiled for a World War Two American aircraft crew who died when their plane crashed 70 years ago on Reigate Hill.
It follows two years of research into the area’s wartime past by conservation organisations in Surrey.
Researchers discovered the crew from the 384th Bomb Group were on their 13th mission together and on their return, cloud led to visibility problems and the aircraft crashed into Reigate Hill in a huge explosion.
A memorial made of two wing tips carved by sculptor Roger Day and including aluminium from the fuselage, has been placed at the site.
