You a looking for a magnetic Nano Cache
In the early hours of 9th September 1941,a RAF Hampden Bomber crashed in flames killing Sgt Ford Rowney age 23 & Flight Sgt Tony Barker age 20.The other two members of the crew ,Sgt E Morgan & Sgt J Mitchell survived by bailing out and landing close to the spot.
An Eye witness account : Betty Stapleton
"I was a young girl living at 62 Crow Lane.I remember the occasion of the plane crash in what we called then the "Football Field" just by Horsepool Lane.It was the middle of the night when a British plane that was in trouble passed over the village.As it came in low ,a couple of crew managed to bail out ,but one poor fellow got his parachute caught up in the top of one of the high elm trees that used to be along beside the road ,and was left dangling upside down from its branches.He began calling out for help and his cries were heard across the fields ,"Please help me,please help me" he was calling.
My father,Bert Stapleton,ran to his aid and climbed right to the top of the tree to release him.They took him to the first aid post, which was at Mr Collin's Dairy.I believe one other man survived but i think two others were killed when the plane hit the ground and their bodies were taken to the Bull".
