BOMBER CRASH MEMORIAL

Ilkey, England \endash A new memorial to six Canadians airmen killed in a Second World War crash was dedicated Tuesday, exactly 62 years after the tragedy on the bleak moorlands of Yorkshire.

A large crater still marks the spot on the English hillside where the Halifax bomber came down. Just a few metres away, wreckage from the aircraft have worked their way to the surface among the heather moss.

After years of effort and painstaking research, the memorial was unveiled to remember the crash that killed everybody onboard \endash the six Canadians as well as a Scottish crew member. On a still, misty day, about 30 people made a half hour walk up from the small town of Ilkley for the ceremony. Surrounded by sheep and a dozen journalists, locals and Canadians, paid tribute to the perished crew.

The dedication of the 1.2 metre stone plinth designed by artist John Webber was organized by Paul Reilly and his father, John, whose best friend Felix Byrne was the only Scot on the plane. The Canadians aboard were Pilot Donald George MaLeod, 21 of Waterford, Ont.; bomb aimer Robert Henry Rahn, 22, Kitchenor, Ont.; Navigator Lewis Riggs, 20, of Toronto, Ont.; Wireless Operator/Air Gunner, William George King, 27 of Teepee Creek, Alta.; Air Gunner George Ed. Martin, 21, of Toronto, Ont.; Air Gunner Albert Lorne Mullen, 19, of Burnaby, BC., who grew up in Regina. The memorial has a brass plaque bearing their names and rank.
