You missed a bit, anoraks! A lonely fragment of the eight and a half tonnes of bomber which crashed into the hillside on 21st April 1944 whilst on a cross country flight from Hixon.
There are closer shots of it over on the flickr site, I just liked way the sky looks in this one.
This may well be all that is now left above ground at the site, as it has been been serially looted since then by "enthusiasts", many of who amusingly refer to themselves collectively as "Preservation Societies", as discussed previously.
No-one outside the world of "aviation archaeology" knows where the rest of this 'plane is, and even in that world, no-one is telling.
