This week we report from a commemoration event on Reigate Hill last Wednesday. It marked the 80th anniversary of the loss of nine lives of US Air Force crew who died when their B17 plane crashed there on the afternoon of 19th March 1945. A poignant event in which we remembered not just that crew but the loss of all other air crew who died in the Surrey Hills during the Second World War. The gathering this week included readings from military veterans and a wreath laying at the site of the crash. 56:45 - The Good Time Guide: things to do and places to go 1:04:25 – Planet Reigate Stars: thanking local heroes.
