Interesting dates on those grave stones. Just done some research into them.
Looks like they were from 489 squadron which where part of anti shipping operations in the North Sea flying Beaufighter's.
It looks as though the weather for that day was fine. They may have been killed on the 27th in the lead up to this battle.
