There was indeed a new bit, as pictured above. </p><p>It's most plausible that it's from the Hurricanes, though it might be from the nearby Lancaster. <a href="https://aircrashsites.co.uk/">Ian DB</a>'s pics should however show how it differs from its counterparts at the Lancaster.</p><p>Hard to see how I might have missed this on every previous visit. I must have more or less stood on it on every occasion. However, the site is burned right through the peat, I have never seen it so bare. Maybe it's been there all along. </p><p>Location: SK 03527 98907</p>Seanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00262336471783722214noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7802972646864367395.post-31199772908826138182020-11-02T14:44:00.010+00:002020-11-02T14:49:51.526+00:00Gloster Meteors WA971 and VZ518<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GLavoj3i0y4/X6AbR8KRoZI/AAAAAAAAAhY/7N27IhmnoWwG-EIQ8O60eVj7sYGM9FE3wCLcBGAsYHQ/s458/Meteorenginesliddensmoss.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="258" data-original-width="458" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GLavoj3i0y4/X6AbR8KRoZI/AAAAAAAAAhY/7N27IhmnoWwG-EIQ8O60eVj7sYGM9FE3wCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/Meteorenginesliddensmoss.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I've been up to Sliddens Moss twice in recent weeks with Pat, and<a href="http://wrecksiteuk.blogspot.com/"> Matt</a>.

I went out with <a href="http://aircrashsites.co.uk/category/air-crash-sites/">Ian DB</a> last Wednesday for a cluster of sites I've been to many times before. Wellington, Botha, Defiant, <a href="https://peakwreckhunters.blogspot.com/2007/06/blenheim-mki-l1476l-20a-beaver-52-6145.html">Blenheim</a>. It's a nice walk over the tops, and an easy walk back on the Transpennine. <br />
<br />
Noticed a couple of things I hadn't before, including this "new" plaque on the Blenheim memorial. (New to me, its apparently been there since 2018). I've never seen it before, or indeed the scatter of wreckage a little way away with a sign saying "main wreckage this way" which Ian had been frustrated by on a previous visit, as it appeared to have been turned in an unhelpful direction.</div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://draft.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/7802972646864367395/6522541273465485560?hl=en#">Location/More Info </a></div>Seanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00262336471783722214noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7802972646864367395.post-36582361038946690442020-06-26T19:11:00.008+01:002020-08-31T06:35:36.911+01:00Short Stirling Mk.III EE975<br />

A day out in the Yorkshire Dales with "MT Skull" (pictured) last Wednesday took in this 28th May 1945 crash site (with a surprising amount of unlooted wreckage for such an accessible site) on Bycliffe Moor above Conistone (In Wharfedale) first. <div><br /></div><div>The one pictured is just the one with the biggest pile of scrap of a number in bell pits at the site. There's even bits in the fence! As discussed with MT on the day, this is recorded in Smith's "High Ground Wrecks" as only having "small pieces". Nowadays such an amount of unlooted metal makes this arguably at least a "medium remains" by comparison with other sites in their present state. There's sizeable shattered engine bits in this pile<div><br /></div><div>I've used LAIT's anorak site as the "more info" below.

The rough cross made out of a steel fencepost erected at (or near, depending who you ask) the crash site of this Junkers Bomber, which went down with a full bomb load on April 1st, 1941, killing all on board. The bright bolt at the top of the cross is reportedly part of the aircraft. </div>

Memorial to the various air crashes on Brown Clee Hill, Shropshire, erected (I am told) by someone who ran a stall on the local market selling bits from them for many years, seen on a day out with Matt and Rich in a new area for me.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQHUAJTZqF0">WAR</a>, (as the local magpies call themselves) have looted most of these sites, so not much to see at most of them. Found a scrap or two they missed at two of them.<br />

All any pictures would show is the gradual erosion of wreckage at the sites, and its replacement with a proliferation of signs, crosses and poppies, even at sites where there were no deaths. Some of the outings can be seen at MatZX's site <a href="http://wrecksiteuk.blogspot.com/">here</a>.

Had a foggy day out with Ian DB to end the Xmas Break yesterday. This<a href="https://peakwreckhunters.blogspot.com/2007/06/sabre-mk2-19234-rcafb-24h-liberator-42.html"> Liberator </a>was the first of the three crash sites we visited on Holme Moss.<br />

Not been here since <a href="https://peakwreckhunters.blogspot.com/2007/06/sabre-mk2-19234-rcafb-24h-liberator-42.html">2007</a>. Someone has been collecting everything into one pile, and added one of the new metal crosses we are seeing at almost all of the sites now. Ian DB thinks there is less wreckage than before, and notes that the red ring around the fuel point has been lifted (by some light-fingered anorak - my comment)</div>
