Last one of the day, the 15th August 1944 crash site of Stirling EE975 on Old Cote Moor. There's scraps in the scree at the foot of the cliff that this site is on top of as well.

Short Stirling Mk.III EE975
Last one of the day, the 15th August 1944 crash site of Stirling EE975 on Old Cote Moor. There's scraps in the scree at the foot of the cliff that this site is on top of as well.
Vickers Wellington Mk.X HE226
The one pictured is just the one with the biggest pile of scrap of a number in bell pits at the site. There's even bits in the fence! As discussed with MT on the day, this is recorded in Smith's "High Ground Wrecks" as only having "small pieces". Nowadays such an amount of unlooted metal makes this arguably at least a "medium remains" by comparison with other sites in their present state. There's sizeable shattered engine bits in this pile
I've used LAIT's anorak site as the "more info" below. Love how their logo is a JCB now!
