Within the church hangs a tapestry woven by the widow of the pilot./Outside the Old Haa Museum, Burravoe, a plaque mounted below part of a propeller from the Catalina lists members of the crew. A video film and other information about the Catalina and its crew can also be seen at the Old Haa./Please do not remove any parts of the aircraft, as they form part of the memorial to those who lost their lives./Observe the country code./Be equipped and attired for walking in rough country./This information board was prepared by Shetland Amenity Trust with support from the E.
