Airspeed Oxford Mk.I LX518

Oxford LX518 Crash Site













Went out with Mat ZX on Friday for three sites he hadn't been to before on the back end of Bleaklow, including  LX518. 

There are so many well worn tracks all over the hills nowadays. Both this site and the Consul are pretty much right on well-eroded routes now. They were quite hard to find when we located them. It's hard to miss them now!

I was however surprised to come across this burn site a short distance from the more extensive remains in a grough I'd previously marked as the site.

Google Earth .kmz file: Aztrecks version

Peak District Air Crash Sites GPS Coordinates









I had a query about the kmz file I created for all of the Peak District wreck sites, which used to be available from a link for a previous post. I have found a version of the file-if you want it, try this link, or email me at peakwreckhunter@googlemail.com. I can however see some of the locations shown in this file are incorrect, so I think it's actually one I got from the now-defunct Aztrecks site. I'll produce an updated version after I next meet up with Pat (who I gave a copy of my version to)
