Had an outing with Mat ZX over the weekend to Shropshire to look at a few sites. A lovely day for it. We walked up the hill to the Stiperstones, and then went to a local church with memorials to two crashes nearby. Details in posts to follow....

North American P51 Mustang AP171
A .50 cal. bullet found yesterday at the site of this 11th June 1943 crash on Brown Clee Hill
Location: SO 59343 83529
Junkers Ju-88-A5 (6245) V4 + BS III/KG 1
The rough cross made out of a steel fencepost erected at (or near, depending who you ask) the crash site of this Junkers Bomber, which went down with a full bomb load on April 1st, 1941, killing all on board. The bright bolt at the top of the cross is reportedly part of the aircraft.
