St Chad's Church
Wilne, Derbyshire

A plaque on the chancel wall says:

'To the Glory of God and in memory of JOHN SHAW RAF, killed in action June 22nd 1944.
This Tablet was erected and the figures on the Screen were given by his parents'.  

F/Sgt John Shaw was Navigator in P/O 'Mike' Solly's crew (Lancaster EM-M LL973) which was shot down, probably by a Schräge Musik night fighter, inbound  to the synthetic oil plant at Wesseling from RAF Spilsby on the night of 21/22 June 1944. 

There is a Commemorative Tree memorial for the Solly crew.
