Geocache Description:

... he wasn't a dustman. Well if he was he never told me!

He was a navigator on Lancasters during the war and even served in 617 Squadron at some point.


He would have been 93 years old today so this cache has been placed in memory of him.

I have chosen the location as it is directly under the glide path of RAF Alconbury, which had one of the longest runways in the world. I am sure he would love it here and indeed probably spent time here plane spotting!

The cache itself is a small clip and lock box with various bits and bobs in it. Including, at time of placing, a Lancaster travel bug that I have had for far too long.

I have marked this a child friendly, but it is near a road so please be careful with geo-tots.

In memory of Bomber Brown.
