Many aircraft came to grief in Derbyshire during the war, mistakes, primitive navigation equipment, poor weather and the high ground were usually responsible. The high land around Bleaklow and Kinderscout claimed most, mainly British but some American too, very very sad, most have been forgotten with no memorial so its really nice to see that a small hamlet like Middleton went to the trouble, they should not be forgotten.

Thank you for your comment. It’s good that the village did have this memorial erected in memory of these young men.

Know the village and enjoyed the video very much. There was a castle or as better described fortified manor house. It saw some minor action during the English Civil war on the side of the Royalists.

Thank you. Yes, I read about the fortified manor house in my research. There's plenty of history to this little village.
