Friends of MF509

MF509, a Wellington MK10 took off on Nov.20th 1944 for a training exercise. The plane experienced engine troubles and as they descended over the mountains of the Brecon Beacons their aircraft flew into the south west slope of Carreg Goch. Six RCAF crewmembers perished. A memorial was erected by the Welsh people and has since assumed a place of honour within the Brecon Beacons.

My friend Arwel Michael and I often visit the crash site during our many mountain walks and we both recognise this as a very special, peaceful place. On this visit 6 May 2006, the messages read at the site by Wes and the memorial artefacts he brought from the relatives of the crew added significantly to the great respect we already had for the crew, their families and the site itself. I feel privileged to have been there on what was a very special day. Sincerely, John Richards
