A Memory of Shildon.

apparently there were 2 crashes.. an RAF mosquito crashed near the reservoir and an rcaf (Canadian) stirling got too close to aycliffe and was shot down near the elephants trunk by our own guns... oops - also a bus was attacked by a German plane in the same area

Absolute rubbish. The aircraft was a Stirling bomber on a training flight from Lincolnshire with a British crew. caught fire and tail section fell off. Crashed near Store Farm and all killed.
