# 4 BOMBING AND GUNNERY SCHOOL
FINGAL

This facility, located west of Fingal, trained non-pilot air
crew from November 27, 1940 to February 17, 1945.
Over 6000 personnel graduated and were sent to theatres
of war throughout the world.

In tribute to #4 B&G this memorial site includes a 1/4
scale silhouette of a Lysander aircraft. The Lysander was
typical of the aircraft used to pull "drogues" or targets for
practice by flyers and gunners. Three Lysanders crashed
near Fingal during training flights, killing their crews.
