A cross in the Peel
On the abandoned Peel once stood a large cross of honour. It marked the spot where a bomber crashed on 7 February 1945. It had been hit by German night fighters equipped with a new radar system. Allied bombers that were hit tried to land in already liberated areas such as the Peel. So did the Halifax NA-197 and the Halifax NA-260 with a French crew on board. Two of them are buried at the site where the aircraft crashed
