Last night around 17:25 hours, a Second World War vintage single engine Piper J5A airplane made a crash landing in a field owned by Walter Bradway near the four corners of Union Road and Stafford Road in the south westerly corner of Holland. The vintage plane was piloted by its owner Mark E. Horan who was flying with his daughter Katelynn from 3B0 (Southbridge Municipal Airport) to 7B6 (Warehouse Point, Skylark Airport) when the engine started to sputter. Read more»Edit - Delete

I learned from a reader of the Holland Blog that the field where the plane crash-landed was part of the Farm owned by Samuel Dawz Perry, the original owner of the farm. He passed it down to his son Dawz Samuel Perry and then grandfather Dawz passed it down to his son Marshall Perry who sold part of the property to Mr. Bradway.
Marshall "Marty" Perry, Jr. lived in the mobile home at the beginning of Mashapaug Rd. Today, he lives in the newer home he built right next door to the mobile home. All that land/farms belonged to the Perry family for many years.
