The stone sits on it's own against the South East Wall of the Churchyard on the plot allocated to patients of Lennox Castle Hospital. Thanks to Ken Morrison for sending me the following link which explains all about Observer Gerd Hansmann's death: http://www.aircrashsites-scotland.co.uk/ju-88A_5_blairskaith_muir.htm It's also very worthwhile visiting this site (a link on the above): http://www.welcometolennoxtown.co.uk/plane_crashes.htm Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         The Scottish War Graves Project Forum Index -> Glasgow & Dunbartonshire All times are GMT Goto page 1, 2, 3, 4  Next Page 1 of 4   Jump to: Select a forum General Section----------------IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ THE POST IN THIS SECTIONNew Members IntroductionsNews and Guidelines Other Topics----------------Queries and RequestsUseful links Regions----------------AberdeenshireArgyll & ButeAyrshireBordersDumfries & GallowayDundee & AngusEdinburghFifeGlasgow & DunbartonshireHighlandsLanarkshireLothiansMorayOrkney & ShetlandPerth & KinrossRenfrewshireStirling & Central ScotlandWestern IslesOverseas burials  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Powered by phpBB © phpBB Group.
