Bristol Blenheim Mk. 1 L1476 Revisited

Sykes Moor Crash Site Memorial
























I went out with Ian DB last Wednesday for a cluster of sites I've been to many times before. Wellington, Botha, Defiant, Blenheim. It's a nice walk over the tops, and an easy walk back on the Transpennine. 

Noticed a couple of things I hadn't before, including this "new" plaque on the Blenheim memorial. (New to me, its apparently been there since 2018). I've never seen it before, or indeed the scatter of wreckage a little way away with a sign saying "main wreckage this way" which Ian had been frustrated by on a previous visit, as it appeared to have been turned in an unhelpful direction.

Had a foggy day out with Ian DB to end the Xmas Break yesterday. This Liberator was the first of the three crash sites we visited on Holme Moss.
