An outing to Great Rhos with Matt ZX yesterday yielded two crash sites, of which this was the less impressive.
There are only scattered scraps to be found at the crash site, though larger fragments of skinning have been found scattered across the moor downwind of the site.

Second crash site of the day yesterday had this engine, a rarity in Wales nowadays with all of the looting. The location given below is for the engine. There's an impact site further up the hill with a scatter of bits and bobs as well.
Location: SO17569 64613

Went out in the snow with Matt ZX a little while back to show him a few sites on Kinder Scout he hadn't been to. The engine from Avro Anson Mk. XI NL185 appears to be missing. When I went out with Pat and MT Skull a while back, we didn't find it, but I had thought that was because we were a little rushed. Me and Matt however had a good hard look, and there is no sign of it. Someone went to some trouble here. But why?
