On 10th October 1945 Sub Lt Hornby of the Royal New Zealand Naval Reserve attached to 718 Sqn Fleet Air Arm took off from Ballyhalbert in a Seafire NN631.
He got into difficulties over County Tyrone and after 2 explosions the aircraft fell to earth in flames.
The location is recorded as "Three miles southeast of Carrickmore" and I have received a poor quality copy of a small cross at the crash site which appears to be in the middle of a field.
Does anyone know where this is? Is the cross still there??
Sub Lt Hornby is buried at Ballyhalbert and his grave is photographed on my site.
I think it would be great to have a picture of the cross at the crash site included if possible.
