A hand-lettered remembrance, inside the Parish Church of South Cove. It is incorrect, in that there are now only two crewmembers buried at Cambridge. The remainder have been repatriated.

B24J 42-51241 was apparently caught in propwash, and was thrown over on its back on the way back from mission 920. The crew did not have time to escape the aircraft before it started to break up, and it crashed close to St Lawrence's church, South Cove with all crew lost. There is a memorial in the churchyard, and a small hand-lettered remembrance in the church.
