Over a hundred people attended yesterday's unveiling of a memorial to a World War 2 plane crash on the Island.
An American B17 bomber, known as "Combined Operations" came down at Glen Chass on April 14th 1945.
Pilot Robert Vieille and ten passengers on-board were all killed.
The memorial was organised by Adrian Tinkler from Rushen Parish Commissioners with support from the Manx Aviation and Military Museum.
Mr Vieille's sister Joie, who attended the ceremony, says it was many years before they found out exactly how her brother had died.
