Milner Crew, Neaufles St Martin,
near Gisors, France
207 Squadron Lancaster EM-B ND866/G, F/O Michael Milner and crew, crashed after being shot down on 8th July 1944 on a raid on St.Leu d'Esserent, a major V-1 storage and handling facility in enlarged caves in the Oise valley, 48km N of Paris. 

It was estimated that St.Leu provided 70% of the V1s then being launched against Britain.

37 of the 221 aircraft taking part were lost, five from 207 Squadron.

This Memorial was erected by the community of Neaufles-St.Martin to the memory of the Milner crew.

The local community suffered badly for the help they gave survivors and the honour they paid to the Allied dead.

The memorial reminds us of the price local people paid for honour under the Nazi yoke.

The inscription reads:

'A LA MEMOIRE Des Aviateurs Du 207 Squadron de la Royal Air Force. Tombés en mission de guerre le 8 Juillet 1944.  Milner MN F/O, Miller J F/Sgt, Collings RC Sgt, Jacques BM Sgt, Palmer EW Sgt, Barret AC Sgt.  Morts pour la Liberté.  Souvenez vous.' 

Unveiled on 9th July 1994.
