A Selby church is gathering memories about the night a Halifax bomber collided with its spire and killed 15 people during the Second World War.
St James' Church wants to mark the 70 anniversary of the crash on May 10, 1944, by staging an exhibition about it inside the building and is looking for anyone who saw the crash or knew those who died.
The Rev Jason Reid, vicar of St James said: "The crash of May 10, 1944 was a horrible tragedy, which had awful repercussions for many Selby families. We want to mark the anniversary and remember those who died before God, and we need the help of folk from Selby. "
The crash destroyed several houses on Portholme Drive and killed the plane's crew of five Australians and two RAF airmen as well as eight civilians.
The church will also host a service of remembrance on May 10 this year at 2pm, 70 years and 12 hours after the crash.
Anyone who can help should contact Keith Hone on 01757 291107 or 07818 715798.
