This is a shock absorber(known as an oleo strut or just an oleo to enthusiasts)from the undercarriage of one of what may be two Ansons wrecked on Mynydd Perfedd in Snowdonia, over a wreckage field measured by us as 0.4 miles across.

It is claimed that there are three sets of undercarriage mounting brackets at the site. One Anson contained only two such brackets, so it would prove that there are two Ansons in the wreckage spread over the hillside if three such brackets were found.

The condition of what we saw on the day however makes this far from clear. Less convincing yet are the arguments concerning which wreck site is which.

A illegible home-made plaque in what some claim to be the wreckage field of one of two Ansons crashed in this area .

I wonder if the plaque's writer thought he could identify which wreck was which? This website certainly does, though the plaques were readable back when he visited. Writing something on a plaque does not however make it a fact.

The remains of a second illegible plaque by what some think to be the centre of an individual wreckage field, seemingly written in Tipp-ex like the one at the Wellington site near to the Lincoln.
