Summary
| Description |
English: On Sunday 9th June 2019, 77 years and two days after Halifax V9977 crashed into the side of a hill in Ross on Wye killing all 11 men onboard, a very special memorial stone was unveiled. The memorial stone will forever mark the place where the crash occurred and recognises the terrible loss of life that was also a national disaster during WWII. Alan Dower Blumlein was one of the men killed along with other colleagues from EMI, the RAF and Telecommunications Research Establishment (TRE). H2S radar, being tested on Halifax V9977, was a cutting edge "Air to Surface" radar system that went on to help win WWII. |
