Memorial to Wellington Bomber Crew LP286 on the SE edge of Chipping Warden
During a training sortie on 18 April 1945 Wellington Bomber LP286 was returning to Chipping warden following engine problems. Following an overshoot and go around the plane stalled and crashed at 14.03 into Edgcote Park south east of the airfield killing all but one. This modern memorial stands at the edge of a wooded area and can be clearly seen from the adjacent path.
