The talk focused on the details of the two air crashes that happened in the village during World War II. Judy explained how she investigated them and told us about the intrigue that surrounds one of the crashes.
Judy was joined by Theresa Reed, who has been metal detecting the crash sites for many months, prior to them becoming protected. Theresa found and catalogued lots of pieces of aircraft wreckage, including several personal items. She put these on display and talked about the technicalities of how these interesting finds were detected and identified.
