A dedication takes place of the memorial to the crew of the Halifax Bomber which crashed nearby this spot on Bradford Road in Tingley. The crash occurred on Thorpe Lane near the Bradford Road in West Ardsley on November 14, 1944 and it was witnessed by the 14 year-old Walter Townend, then a student at Morley Grammar School. The seven crewmen were all killed. Walter was determined to get a memorial put up for these men and this occurred in 1989 in the presence of some of the relatives of the dead airmen.
