For my second Pathfinder Ride - it all went a bit wrong. I managed to pass the site where the Liberator B24 crashed in April 1944 and the square in St Cry de Valorges named after the S/Sgt James Heddleston, the Radio Officer who spent quite a few months after the crash working with the local Maquis.
However, a wrong turn meant I missed passing the memorial to the Admiral Prune, the Lancaster that crashed near Valsonne in 1943. I had passed it back in January, but I know little about the back story to this location, so I'll come back later.
Not to worry - despite the Liberator being American and a Carpetbagger and so not part of Bomber Command, it was still a great ride.

This is where Mosquito DZ636 crashed overnight 26-27 July 1944 killing the two crew members. There is no plaque or indication. The pathfinder rides is all about changing that. #pathfinderrides #thepathfinterrides #internationalbcc #internationalbombercommandcentre
