Yeah..it was the Freckleton air crash. A Liberator bomber had taken off from Warton, hit bad weather and came down slap into the side of a primary school....I think there was about 60 killed in total.

A bit of a thread wonder this, but this week the people of Croydon were due to commemerate the 50th anniversery of the deaths of about 30 schoolkids who had flown into a mountainside in Norway while on a schoo ltrip. No celebration, however, because half the town went up in flames tuesday night.
