Description
An account of the resource
Handley Page Hampden Bomber Plane 1941
WW11 Bomber Plane crash.
On February 10th 1941 a Handley Page Hampden bomber plane crashed into Bluestone plantation killing all the aircrew: Flight Lieutenant John Frutiger, Sergeant John Hill, Flight Sergeant Robert Gapp, and Sergeant Robert Chanin, it was his 21st birthday.
At a ceremony in Cawston on Sunday 2 September, a plaque was unveiled in memory of the four young airmen in their early twenties of 61 Squadron, set off from RAF Hemswell on a bombing mission to Wilhelmshaven in Germany. On their return, they crashed near Cawston while attempting an emergency landing.
The very moving unveiling of the memorial and laying of wreaths followed a service in St Agnes’ Church, Cawston. The service and ceremony were attended by a large contingent of Cawston residents, along with representatives of the Royal British Legion and relatives of the airmen. A bugler played the Last Post and there was a fly-past of 2 aircrafts one of which was a Tiger Moth.
The Historical Society were particularly delighted to welcome several of the airmen’s family members, from Norfolk, Devon, Hertfordshire and Humberside.”
Refreshment were provided after at the Village Hall.
The decision to honour the airman with a plaque originated when Bill Sampson who was about 10/11 years of age and son of the policeman in the village at that time told us about this in a history piece of Cawston and when they were putting together a DVD of the history of Cawston, Mr Brain Turner recalled this incident (See film above) and seemed appropriate time to do something.
The memorial already has a plaque on it in memory of the crew of the Lucky Strike , which was flying back from a raid on submarine pens at Kiel in January 1944 when it crashed at Church Farm, Cawston with the loss of two lives.
Handley Page Hampden was a twin-engine medium bomber of the Royal Air Force (RAF) and was used in the early stages of the war.
