Abingdons terrible aircrash



6th July 1965

Today is a tale from the boundary of my family The Robinsons and the families of the 41men killed in what was described as the worst RAF peacetime plane crash.

My uncle  M/AQM Joseph W Robinson was one of the men killed.

Every year on  the nearest Sunday to the date of the crash a service is held at the tiny church in Toot Baldon Oxfordshire. The church looks out over the field where the plane came down.



At the rising of the sun and at its going down,
We remember them.
