"Under en SOE-flyvning til Polen med våbenforsyninger blev Halifax DT620 skudt ned over Stevns. Flyet nedstyrtede den 14. marts 1943 kl. 21.45
på 7-8 m vand ved Harvig (her). Alle ombordværende blev dræbt." (FAF)

Nedstyrtningsstedet i nærbillede var her, stik øst for Jens Hansens hus her, nu Harvig 4, 4673 Rødvig Stevns. (Kilde: Niels B. Pedersen)

Den 5. september 2010 kl. 11.30 blev en mindesten afsløret her ved Højerup Ny Kirke, Højerup Bygade 37, 4660 Store Heddinge for besætningen på Halifax DT620
på initiativ af Niels B. Pedersen og andre i området! Det er nær Stevns Klint.

Niels B. Pedersen sendte denne invitation til mig (men jeg var til Air Show i Duxford) og denne historie om flyet og dets besætning til www.airmen.dk.
 Se monumentet dækket af sne.

Fra HAL DT620 blev 5 flyvere begravet på Bispebjerg og 1 i Sverige, mens 1 har ingen kendt grav.  7 flyvere.
