Bristol Blenheim Mk.IV Z5870

Crowden Brook
Originally uploaded by seansonofbig2

Further to some recent correspondence, we decided to search up from Crowden Brook towards what is believed by some to be the terminal site of this still unlocated Blenheim Bomber crash.

Like all others we are aware of, we failed to find any trace of the 'plane on the mountain.

On the other hand, we did get to be overtaken by little old ladies (amongst many others) on what seemed to be the most well-trafficked route up Kinder we have yet been on.

Boeing RB-29A Superfortress 44-61999

Took my brother and his kids out to the Superfortress yesterday. Had to turn back, as it started snowing heavily, and they were not as well clothed as might be desired. I noted however that the gun well/crawl tunnel previously recorded was nowhere near where it was at my last visit. If someone has indeed moved it, I hope that it is in the direction of the main wreck site.

Location: Unknown-hopefully not in someone's garage "museum"

Consolidated Liberator B-24J 42-52003

We revisited this one to get accurate coordinates, and a photo in sunshine, instead of hammering rain. This is an easy one to get to, path all the way from the layby by the Grouse pub.
