A wet and windy one today, so only got one wreck, this Hampden crash site near Holme. I'm holding a big chunk of iron, with some smaller bits of aluminium balanced on top, discovered by metal detection in the explosion crater.
Yes, I know it could be a dog turd from this small photo but ask yourself, would I be cupping a dog turd in my hands?

This photo of the supposed V1 crater covers the same area shown in the previous visit photo. There is now however no debris to be seen anywhere around the crater. Has the site been looted by "souvenir hunters"?

Visited the Oxford wreck on Howden Moor-couldn't tell if it had been interfered with, but there seems to be looters active in the area, judging by evidence at the V1 and Consul sites.
Of course, unlike the other two, this one is a War Grave, covered by by the Protection of Military Remains Act. That may cause them to think more carefully before looting..
