    This monument commemorates the crew of a British bomber shot down by a German fighter on April 14, 1943, while returning from a raid on Stuttgart. The plane crashed in the Nismes woods, killing all seven men on board. The monument was erected in 1994 by a local association, with the help of the Wings Aviation Museum and the families of the crew. You'll find the monument along a hiking trail that leads to the crash site, where parts of the plane are still visible.
