Comments:
My late father, Hamish Askew, was stationed at RAF Alness and the camp at Invergordon at some point later in the war. I recall him telling me of one Sunderland crash in which all the crew were killed, this occuring on the north east side of Invergordon at a point where the former BA smelter conveyor belt passed over the north railway line.
