Armstrong Vickers Wellington Mk. II W5365

Made a quick side trip today to Tollerton airport and Cotgrave to see the crash site and memorials for Wellington W5365, which stalled on approach and crashed into an oak tree 200m short.

A DFM was awarded to one of the crew, Robert Tomlinson for rescuing the pilot from the burning 'plane.
