Bristol Blenheim Mk.V BA246

An outing with Mick and Moustache Steve to Bleasdale Fell in the Forest of Bowland Sunday before last yielded a couple of pools of wreckage from a fatal night training accident in 1944. This collection including undercarriage components is slightly lower than the main wreckage.

A boggy day out last Sunday in Bowland with Pat and Mick - we found the crash sites of both of the Lightnings which collided in mid-air on a ferry flight and crashed on and near Dunsop Fell.

The "More info" links are to the relevant sections of Wotherspoon's book, which is now available free on Google books, in the unlikely event that you were thinking of buying it. His coordinates are very good for the Mustang. Less so for the Defiant.....
