I remember it well, and the reports of the pilot flying to avoid the village.

Used to live close by to there and remember it. At the time it didn't seem long since this happened very close by (probably less than a couple of minutes flight time away from Shap)...

Yes we were doing a dev at either Stainon or Penrith at the time and one of the lads lived in Shap, the story of the little flags sticks with you...
