Above Llyn Dulyn, there are supposed to be five Ansons, a Wellington, Oxford and Whitley. We visited on Friday, and didn't find a single Anson.

We think we got evidence for everything else though, including the C-47 propellor seen in the foreground of this shot of the Lake.

Propellor from the C-47 wreck which used to hang on the gully wall above Llyn Dulyn in Snowdonia, but from which not much has been seen for quite some time.

We were well pleased to find this, our first bit of the day...

DC3 Wreck above Chew

The elusive DC3 wreck finally located at SE 01493 02680. Contrary to pretty much all published photos elsewhere, the strut isn't standing up, which makes it much harder to find than you would imagine.

This photo, and all photos on the blog from now on are available at the flickr site at full camera resolution.
