Dakota KN491 crash

By Mark Galbraith

My mum was Kathleen Galbraith (Birch in 1949) and served with the Observer Corps. She was 22 years old at the time of the incident. I don't know any details of people in the photos but I vaguely remember her mentioning the aircraft crash.

If anyone has any information on the crash they are willing to share can you please email: james@britains-smallwars.com
