A SERVICE of rededication has been held at a memorial which honours the crew of a Halifax bomber which crashed at what is now Romanby Golf Club during the Second World War..
The Halifax bomber, from RAF Leeming, crashed shortly after take-off on February 21, 1944, coming down at Crowtree Farm, at Romanby, near Northallerton, killing the seven-man Canadian and British crew.
The crash site site is now the fifth hole at Romanby Golf And Country Club and the memorial was originally unveiled near the putting green in 2010.
However the brass plaque was showing signs of age and the 100th anniversary of the RAF was seen as a fitting time to replace it - and once more remember the sacrifice of the crew.
A short service and reading was attended by personnel from RAF Leeming, and members of the club.
