Flypast on 75 anniversary of Endcliffe Park Crash

As past of the commemoration of the crash of a B-17 Flying Fortress, known as Mi Amigo, on 22 February 1944, a fly past was organised.

The B-17 crashed in Endcliffe Park, in Sheffield, having avoided children playing nearby. One of those children was Tony Foulds, who has built and tended a memorial in the park.
