| | WOMEN'S PEACE CAMP: Re:Menwith Hill orchids: Bob Cryer - 20/3/02 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) |
 | | Bob Cryer, the MP who consistently campaigned against Menwith Hill and whose last speech in the House of Commons was about the base, was killed in a road accident while returning to Parliament after the Easter Recess, on April 11th, 1994. |
 | | In June 1994, Ann Cryer, David Bowe, Mike McGowan and members of Yorkshire CND, planted a memorial common alder [Bob's favourite] on the grass verge of the highway east of the Main Gate at Menwith Hill. |
 | | I wrote to John and Ann Cryer, told them that Helen and I had inspected the tree, decided that it is now too big for us to contemplate removing, and suggested that we plant another memorial tree for Bob. |
