Mousehold Heath in Norwich was a decoy landing area in WWII and currently there is a memorial to Bristol Beaufort DE121, from 1 Flight Ferry Training Unit that crashed on 25.7.42 taking the lives of all four crew.
Also remembered on the memorial is the pilot of Handley Page Hampden AE141 that crashed on 12th February 1942. It had been damaged by flak on Operation Fuller or the Channel Dash as it is better known. See here for a memorial to Swordfish crews also lost on this operation.
Nice memorial
