While in Gander we visited the Silent Witness memorial which was built in memory of the 258 personnel who perished on 12 December 1985 when the plane they were travelling on crashed at this site. All but the aircrew were from the United States Army 101st Airbourne Division. They were on their way home for Christmas after completing peacekeeping operations in the Middle East. The photos below show the site of the crash and the memorial built to honour their memory.
On our sight seeing we toured the midlands of Newfoundland and took in the Dover Fault. To read more of this geological feature please look at the following link. http://townofdover.ca/doverfault.html
We also enjoyed a great picnic lunch at Birchy Bay.
More to follow.
Best wishes to all,
Ross and Bev
