    Hiking

    The Lancaster crashed in poor visibility on 13 February 1944, killing all 8 people on board. The previous evening it had taken part in special operations in Southern France. Aiming to return to the squadron's base in Lincolnshire, the plane took off from Ford airfield, near Arundel. Unfortunately, it was unable to gain sufficient height and crashed in low cloud and fog at the highest point of the downs.

    Hiking

    This is one of many downed aircraft memorials along the South Downs Way. This one is also at the top of Littleton Down, which, at 255 metres high, is also a UK p100 top.
