This is a picture of a small tree which grew next to the impact crater of Donald Lloyd Breadner and Kenneth Brian Bennett's crash of Nov.30, 1944. The tree has encapsulated a small piece of the Mosquito, which is now a few feet off the ground. I attached the poppies on November 3, 2011, in memory of those two brave young men who perished there. I hope to erect a permanent memorial in the future.
