Abingdons Terrible Air crash






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 of St Lawrence  in Toot Baldon Oxfordshire. The church looks out over the field where the plane came down.

Tomorrow my sister and I  along with our cousin Mel Robinson ( hopefully) will attend the service on Sunday 7th July 11am.


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