A new garden commemorating the deaths of five men killed in an air crash on Manx soil during the Second World War, and a memorial to two Canadians among that number, has been unveiled at the Manx Aviation and Military Museum at Ronaldsway.
The garden was opened by Colonel Marc Bigaouette, Air Force adviser to the Canadian High Commission in London.
