On 25 September 1942 LAN R5679 crashed here west of Grønhøj. One airman was killed, when he hit the ground here.
6 other airmen perished in the air crash. The sky lit up when the bomber burned Mrs Gudrun Laigaard stated. Aerial photo.
See also Google Map p114 Lancaster R5679. We erected a memorial stone to these 7 airmen. Innkeeper Gregers Laigaard Grønhøj Kro let the room to the left in the entrance to the stable be turned to an RAF Memorial Room. The memorial stone
here facing the road was erected between the stable and The red house. Søren Nielsen Grønhøj Vognmandsforretning 
donated the stone and transported it to the monumental mason. Gregers made a base for the stone. Knud Gaarn-Larsen,
Gerhardt Hørdum and Anders Straarup were in charge of a public subscription to the local bank Andelskassen i Frederiks.
