Old Photograph Railway Station Invergordon Scotland
Old photograph of the railway station in Invergordon, Ross and Cromarty, Scotland. On 26 November 1944, Royal Air Force Short Sunderland DD851 of the 4th Operational Training Unit departed Cromarty Firth, RAF Station Alness on an anti-submarine patrol of the North Sea off the coast of Scotland. During the initial climb a connecting rod on the starboard inner engine broke, the engine caught fire and fell off. The Sunderland, with a full load of fuel and depth charges then crashed into the railway line 2 miles northeast of Invergordon Railway Station where all 11 of the RCAF crew were killed. The crew are buried in the Stonefall Air Force Cemetery in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, England.
