About the memorial: This was previously at BAE Systems, Bridge Road in Barrow in Furness we believe. But it was moved at somepoint to the museum. The Links indicate a possible matching item in the collection but makes no reference of a plaque. Yellow painted part of a crane with metal plaque mounted on wooden board with dedication. A separate, smaller, metal plaque has explanatory text. Further evidence on this would be beneficial alongwith photographs.
