Historical Society appealing for help with plane crash
Cerne Abbas
CERNE HISTORICAL SOCIETY is appealing for anyone who can help with shedding some light on a flying accident that took place in 1944 to come forward.
Jeff Beaumont is researching the death of his grandfather in a flying accident between Cerne Abbas and Piddletrenthide.
His understanding is that on 18th August 1944, flight officer Robert Charles Beaumont was flying a Hawker Typhoon through bad weather when he crashed into a hilltop at Encomb or Incombe Wood, killing him instantly.
There was an Accident Investigation Bureau report into the crash but unfortunately almost all their records for 1944 were destroyed in a bombing raid in 1945.
Can anyone supply more information?
If so, please let George Mortimer know (01300 341396) and he will pass the details on to Jeff Beaumont.
ST MARY'S CHURCH: The Salisbury Guild of Bell Ringers is holding a practice session at the church on Saturday 26th April between 2.30pm and 4.30pm.
SHORT MAT BOWLS: Ever fancied trying out this very sociable game?
Not only is it fun but also great, light exercise.
If you would like to have a go, Cerne's local club would like to invite you to come to Cerne Abbas Village Hall on a Monday morning for 10am.
All you need are some flat, smooth soled, indoor shoes or thick socks.
Players of all ages are very welcome.
If you are unable to attend the morning session, contact Eugene Balbinski (01300 341714) for information regarding evening sessions.
CERNE VALLEY CRICKET CLUB would like to improve the number of local children trying out the game.
The club will be offering free taster sessions for any boys and girls aged between nine and 13 who are interested in learning the basics of cricket.
They will be invited to attend the Simsay nets for coaching and practice, weather permitting.
For more details or to find out about how to support the club in other ways, contact Jan Roebuck on 01300 341574.
