On 21 March 1941 a Hampden bomber crashed on Hameldown, near Widecombe-in-the-Moor, on its way back to base. Seventy years later John Lowe, a retired RAF policeman is trying to piece together the events of that night and reflect on the young aircrew who lost their lives.

Join him for an illustrated talk to discover the detective work he’s undertaken and find out how Moor than meets the eye has helped to undertake a geophysical survey to look more closely at the crash site.

This talk is free. There will be a short interval for refreshments during the evening. For more details and to book your place contact the Moor than meets the eye team on 01626 831028 or email
