Thanks to a recent post from my friend Little WW2 Jeep I’ve been meaning to head over to Banham, Norfolk to see this plaque for a while. The plaque is in memory of the crew of a Consolidated B-24J Liberator (42-51503) ‘Crows Nest’, from the 734th Bomb Squadron, part of the 453rd Bomb Group. They were based at nearby Old Buckenham Airfield. On 26 November 1944 shortly after take off, the aircraft crashed at Groves Farm, Park Common sadly all the crew were killed.
