Had a note from Paddy OMeara Chairman of the Roger Casement Branch of ONE to say that members of the branch had visited the site of the Dove crash and laid a wreath and also found that the owner of the land Mr Michael Hannon had planted an oak tree as a memorial. Last year the group had placed a temporary wooden cross on the site. :applause:
(With thanks to Paddy)
