This is a bonus cache for people who have completed the St
Peter, Great Totham Church Micro No 571 cache GC1PP6F and would
like a small walk, of approx 1/4 mile e.w., in the area as
well.
The co-ordinates given are for Great Totham Village NOT the
cache. The actual co-ordinates for the bonus cache will be found on
the back of the logbook in the church micro cache.
There is a plaque attached to the village sign of the north area
which reads -
On 17th October 1952, two Gloster Meteors of No 72 Squadron,
Royal Air Force, crashed nearby killing both pilots. F/O Charles
Muldownie from Rotherham and P/O Ian Carmichael from Devon. Two
local people were injured and many were affected by the
accident.
Local people assisted at the time and this village green became
the base for recovery operations by RAF personnel. This plaque is
in memory of the pilots and for all those involved.
The route to the bonus cache is on public footpaths so please
stick to them.
The cache is a small camoflaged container.
