North American Harvard Mk.IIB FT442

 

I have had a few outings recently with Mat ZX and Ian DB. The Harvard site on Shining Tor continues to evolve. Now it has two crosses, and a scatter of new, larger bits of debris. Holes and small piles of similar debris locally suggest that these were discarded by metal detectorists. When I first went here were just minutiae in a small peat scar.

Airspeed Oxford Mk.I LX745

Looking much as it did back in 2007, despite being very easily accessible from the nearby well-trafficked path, the Oxford site was the third of the four sites visited last Saturday. The pic shows the main wreckage pool. There is also a fuel tank partially buried nor far away.

Wreckage pictured is at SJ 99800 74629.

Noorduyn UC-64A Norseman 43-35439

The disputed Norseman site looks much the same as last time we visited, and established that it was a US 'plane rather than Defiant Mk.I T3921, as some had claimed.

North American Harvard Mk.IIB FT442

This Harvard site on Shining Tor is considerably more overgrown than when last visited, but it has acquired another one of those new crosses.
