Memorial to the crew of Wellington R3236 which crashed in the woods near Luftwaffe base Upjever during WW2.   This was a report in the RAFA Scotland magazine.   On Sunday 22nd May 2016 an Act of Remembrance was held in the chapel of the Scottish National War Memorial with relatives of all five crew attending the service and meeting up together for the first time.   The service was conducted by the Reverend Angus Smith and, at the conclusion, the piper, Rhys Clark, played a lament "Mist covers the mountains".   In a further act of remembrance and unity, a wreath was laid jointly by Douglas Aylward, a relative of Douglas Lindsay, and the German Consul Herr Heinrich Schnettger.   (Thanks to Jack Waterfall.)
