Site: Hampden Bomber P4399 crash (1 memorial)
DA1, East Hill
Researching the names on the plaque Andrew Behan found the addresses of the civilians which gave us the site of the crash. This is a little to the east of the plaque. The houses hit, where the civilians died, were 65, 67 and 69 East Hill. These are on the south, set back a bit from the road, with a few steps between two piers, and a path between them.
