American bravery recognized by thousands in UK

I went to school in Sheffield, impressive to see the memories.

A touching event in Sheffield, UK this week.  In 1944 an american B17 bomber plane crashed in Endcliffe Park with the loss of all 10 flight crew. The plane had been on a raid  to Denmark but had been severely damaged by Nazi enemy fighters and had limped back to the UK.  It had hoped to get back to its base in Suffolk  but eventually had to descend through the clouds and found itself  100 miles adrift, over Sheffield.  The park has a large grassy area but in coming down the crew realised that there were children playing there so they tried waving to the children for them to move. The children thought the waving was just for them and they waved back. Eventually, the pilot put the plane into an embankment at one side of the park and all crew perished.

 In 1959 a small memorial was built on the site of the crash and for many years one man (Tony Faulds-- who was one of the children at the time of the crash) has tended it, particularly because of guilt feelings he had. A couple of months ago Tony started to raise the wish that the 75th anniversary of the crash should be marked by a fly-past  and gradually this gained momentum, with the UK-based american airforces  agreeing. This took place and was impressive. Thousands of people turned out to watch it and it dominated BBC TV news broadcasting at the time.

The flypast concluded with a pack of 4  F15 fighters flying in formation with one  climbing vertically and doing a complete roll.

A search on Google looking for the event in Sheffield/Endcliffe Park/ flyover should find info if you want to look further and see video. The plane was named  Mi Amigo.
