Yearly Memorial Lancaster DX-P of 57 Sqd

Friends
 
The photos of the memorial of 1 8 /12 of Lancaster DX-P of 57 Sqd (that came down in Lierde on December 21 1942) are online  (soon on the site)
In the crash that happened 6 airmen died (1 RAAF, 5 RAF), the only survivor was the NZ tailgunner. 
We hold this memorial every year at the time and date of the crash (as good as we can)
 
 
After the ceremony a "heart warming drink" was offered to all.
Wreaths were laying down by the Comunity of Lierde, de inhabitants of the location where the Lancaster came down (an who take care of the monumen), Belgian patriotic organisations and our group, Wings of Memory.
 
Best wishes to all of you,  a dn enjoy the photos.
