Avro Anson Mk 1 N9617

























A day out with Matt ZX yesterday in the Berwyns yielded a few bits of site-proving skinning like the bit pictured at this site on Moel Sych. 

Those tussocks make for heavy going off path! Still, there's a good chance that one of the magpies will have these bits in their garage "museum" before the weekend is out now that I've published the coordinates. For "safe keeping" you understand......

Bristol Blenheim Mk. 1 L1476 Revisited

Sykes Moor Crash Site Memorial
























I went out with Ian DB last Wednesday for a cluster of sites I've been to many times before. Wellington, Botha, Defiant, Blenheim. It's a nice walk over the tops, and an easy walk back on the Transpennine. 

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.
