Memorial
This marker is located on the Cliffs of Magho overlooking Lower Lough Erne, west of Enniskillen, Northern Ireland. At nearby Castle Archdale, there is a museum dedicated to the squadrons, including Dolphin's 201, where several references to Dolphin can be found. My father, Malcolm N. Davies, trained with Dolphin. In Dolphin's memory, I was given Douglas as my middle name. -
