22nd January 1945 B24H 42-94811 "Tommy Thumper II" Old Catton 

A pall of rising black smoke  from the crash marks the site where "Tommy Thumper II" came to grief. The 790th Sq. Lt. John McArthur crew were engaged in a practice flight when they lost one engine with No.1 already feathered. The crew attempted to return to base but following loss of power the aircraft entered a stall turn crashing close to Church Street, Old Catton. All nine members of the crew were killed.  See Casualties Page
