RAF Memorial, Eaudyke Road

Avro Lancaster ND 820, 635 squadron, had been on a training flight which set off from RAF Downham Market, in Norfolk. The plane got into difficulties, possibly because of a problem with the autopilot, and caught fire flying over Swineshead in Lincolnshire. It eventually crashed at Bicker, 22 minutes into its flight. A tree took much of the blast from the crashing aircraft, saving a farm worker in the field behind it, and the tree still grows at an angle to this day.
