The Dakota crashed in poor visibility on 11 February 1945, killing all 7 men on board. The plane was returning from Europe on postal duties, flying low in cloud and fog. Almost exactly a year earlier, a lancaster bomber crashed on the opposite side of the valley at Crown Tegleaze. The Four Nations War Memorial at Upwaltham Church commemorates the loss of life on both sides of the valley.
