Linton-on-Ouse

[REF]

These two phtoos were taken by David Thompson and show the damage to the MT section. David will no doubt be along to give some more info and I'm sure Smiler16 can add something to it too.

Thanks Richard . The green metal sheet covers a crack in the concrete which at first I thought had been caused during the air-raid of 12 May 1941 but I'm now pretty sure that the garages were damaged when Halifax NP710 of 408 Squadron crashed on them whilst attempting an overshoot on the 11 September 1944 killing six of the crew and one airman on the ground . There are photographs of this incident in the station Memorial Room .

Five servicemen including the Station Commander W/C Garraway were killed during the 1941 attack and they are buried in All Saints Churchyard at Newton On Ouse .
