Summary
| Description |
English: Donegal. "Urris Hills Air Crash" Elevation 235 metres (770 feet) On Good Friday, the 11 April 1941, a Vickers Wellington bomber crashed into the Urris Hills. Alfred Patrick Cattley, age 24 (Of Russian birth) and his crew of five perished at 3pm on the slopes of the mountain. Looking for the airfield at Limavady, they got lost in thick fog and mistook Lough Swilly for Lough Foyle.
It almost seems an obscenity that such a peaceful and beautiful place, six young airmen disorientated by thick fog and struggling to recognise a familiar landmark in unfamiliar terrain should die in such tragic circumstances. "Courtesy of the Derry Journal" |
