Hordley Crew, Sérifontaine
North of Gisors, France
Lancaster ND567, EM-V, of 207 Squadron at RAF Spilsby was shot down on the night of 7th/8th July 1944 in an attack on St.Leu d'Esserent. 

George Baker, the Flight Engineer, evaded for a while but was then captured: the Navigator, Sgt WR 'Mac' Brown successfully evaded. 

The pilot, F/O Hordley, and the four other members of the crew who were killed - Sgt F Booth, P/O H Burgess, Sgt A Holmes and Sgt G Cooper are buried in the National Cemetery, Marissel, Beauvais.

The aircraft crashed on the edge of woods near Sérifontaine, which is not far from another 207 memorial at Neaufles-St.-Martin. 

On 8th July 1995 George Baker, with AVM David Dick, President of 207 Squadron RAF Association, were among those laying wreaths at a ceremony to dedicate a new stone cross commemorating his crew.

This was erected by the local Commune to replace the original wooden cross.

The aircraft crashed in the woods behind the memorial.
