Informal memorial (you may have to zoom in to read the writing scratched into the panel) at this Avro built Canberra crash site by the highest lake in Wales, Ffynnon Llyffant above Cwm Eigiau towards the summit of Carnedd Llwellyn.
We have been informed since our visit that the description given in the scratched text contains errors, but we do not propose to go back and correct a memorial's typos.

Second time lucky, we found these bits of the Canberra which exploded at high altitude whilst carrying out trials of an experimental rocket engine.
The marked bits have an inspection stamp which says OWL 6, and what seems to be a part number, D 5660/1A, as you can see by clicking on the pic. I'm sure this means something to someone.
Alan Clark's site talks of inspector's stamps on bits he recovered at this site...
