| The second memorial which the Society has been
instrumental in, in association with Maughold Commissioners, was the erection of
a plaque on North Barrule in memory of 31 American servicemen who died in a crash on
their way to Northern Ireland for a period of rest, when their B17G went
straight into the east side of North Barrule on the 23rd April, 1945. This, the worst air accident
on the Island, happened only two weeks before the end of the war.
