    On 18th September, 1943 a Wellington bomber, X HE 324, was on a training exercise from its base at RAF Silverstone, Northamptonshire. The plane was seen to be on fire as it passed over Lovacott and then East Barton, crashing in flames in the field behind the memorial. All six aircrew perished. The memorial was dedicated in September 2013 after much research to identify and notify surviving relatives of the six victims.
