Photographer's remark

This is my son at a memorial located in Belfast Zoo. This memorial is in memory of 10 airmen who lost their live during WWII. ---- While waiting clearance to land their B-17G bomber at Nutts Corner airfield after a trans-atlantic flight the crew lost their bearings in heavy fog and came down on the side of Cavehill. Despite brave efforts by local people and emergency services, all ten men died at the crash site.
