On the 21st May 1942, Wellington Bomber DV-841 with 5 crew on board crashed into Kitty’s Wood, near Roddymoor in Crook, County Durham. Although Wear Valley Council commissioned a plaque which hangs in the North East Aircraft Museum near the Nissan Factory in Washington, a new plaque now stands in grounds of Crook Community Leisure Centre. This was the Memorial Service held on 21st May 2019 to commemorate.
