Visit: On Friday the Mayor said hello to Margaret Balsom and Susan Nicolas

FAARTOFT: On 20 October 1941 a British bomber crashed at Faartoft after it had used bombs and machine guns against the dummy seaplane base constructed
by the German occupying forces near Faartoft to divert British attention from the nearby real seaplane base at Dragsbæk - and they succeeded in doing so.

When one of the three British planes had dropped its bomb load it turned sharply - and hit a nearby farm house, went on to the stable and then it rolled out into a
field where it blew up. The four crew members died and were buried in the German military cemetery in Frederikshavn.

On Friday Mayor Lene Kjelgaard Jensen (V) then had a visit from two nieces of one of the RAF airmen, Margaret Balsom and Susan Nicolas, two sisters from
Middlesex in northern London. Their mother’s twin brother, Pilot Stephen Alfred Symons was among the four perished British airmen.
