Available for over a year

Just a couple of weeks ago the nation marked the 75th anniversary of the D Day landings. Of course that was only the beginning of a long, difficult and costly story that ended on VE Day in May 1945. On Tuesday a special service is being held in the Hampshire village of Ampfield to commemorate a aircraft that crashed as it was returning from a support mission over France.
