On the path between the Veenendaalsestraatweg and the former MOB Complex, approximately 150 meters from the Veenendaalsestraatweg, this monument stands in memory of the bomber Avro Lancaster W4191, EM-Q, which crashed in the field behind the monument.

On December 21, 1942, this aircraft belonged to No. 207 Squadron on its way back from an attack on Munich and was shot down by Oberleutnant Reinhold Knacke, 1./NJG 1 Bf 110 F-4 from Venlo. All seven crew members were killed in the crash.
