Magee's Grave, Scopwick
Scopwick is small village 10km south of Lincoln in Lincolnshire, England.
The village cemetery includes a War Graves site for airmen from the now defunct RAF Scopwick (previously called RAF Digby) and contains many graves, including that of the young World War II aviator John Gillespie Magee, Junior.
There remains the tower of the derelict Scopwick Tower Mill, which was built in 1827 and fell into disuse around 1912.
