War Time: Wellington Bomber Crash Site (Talybont on Usk)
At 0030 hours on 6th July 1942 a Wellington bomber with Canadian crew of five on a training flight from their base in Wellesbourne Mountford in Warwickshire crashed into the mountainside just below Waun Rydd at Cwar y Gigfran – SO 062200 – killing all on board. It is thought that they were lost and descended through thick cloud to try and establish their position. The men are buried at Hereford cemetery far from home.
