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. 

Location : SO 60363 85848 (approx - it's in the woods) 

WAR: What Is It Good For?




















Memorial to the various air crashes on Brown Clee Hill, Shropshire, erected (I am told) by someone who ran a stall on the local market selling bits from them for many years, seen on a day out with Matt and Rich in a new area for me.

WAR, (as the local magpies call themselves) have looted most of these sites, so not much to see at most of them. Found a scrap or two they missed at two of them.
