ALMOST 60 years after the Berlin Airlift, the graves of some of the young men who gave their lives in the operation have been left largely forgotten in the middle of Andover - but that is all set to change.

Sadly some of the aircraft were lost during operations - including an Avro Lancaster which collided with trees in thick fog at Conholt Park, Upper Chute on 22 November 1948.
