Consolidated B-24H Liberator 42-94841

Had a foggy day out with Ian DB to end the Xmas Break yesterday. This Liberator was the first of the three crash sites we visited on Holme Moss.

Location:  SE 10632 03385

North American Sabre Mk.2 19234

Not been here since 2007. Someone has been collecting everything into one pile, and added one of the new metal crosses we are seeing at almost all of the sites now. Ian DB thinks there is less wreckage than before, and notes that the red ring around the fuel point has been lifted (by some light-fingered anorak - my comment)

Fairey Swordfish P4223

A tidied up pile with what looks to be new excavated material, and one of those new crosses at the Swordfish site.

Sabre Wreck:Holme Moss

With Mick away in Australia, I'm reduced to experimenting with blogging direct from my Flickr site(though me and Barry will be out next Thursday). When we found the Swordfish, we also popped over to get some better pics of the nearby Sabre wreck. There are more on my Flickr Site. If you click through on the above pic, it's much more high-res than the other pics on here, and shows the complete wreckage

B-Team outing: Me and Barry returned once again to Holme Moss, and finally found the FAA Swordfish, with a bit of assistance from High Peak Bob. It's changed a bit since the last pic I've seen on the web, acquiring a cross with a White Ensign on. We found it at
SE 08338 04764

Successful outing on Holme Moss with Ralph (the dog) today. Located the RCAF Sabre and USAAF Liberator, but missed the Swordfish again. We'll get it next time!
