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...
Location:SH 70228 66367

As Mick blogged, the impact site of the DC3 G-AHCY formerly known as C-47A-20-DK 42-92543 and KG348 was confirmed the week before last as SE 01509 02433

The highest fragment found on the slope below the impact point was this part-buried bit at SK 08111 94719. Above this, only the impact site(or sites if you prefer), shown in this previous post as "Dakota Wing".
Another undercarriage member was at SK 08140 94628.
Yes, I know I previously said SK 08144 94596. What do you think this is, NASA? Take an average if you are going to be picky.
Fragments at SK 08085 94459.
There are reports of a reduction gear near this location, but we would not describe this in that way.
The Twin Wasp engine at SK 08052 94333.
Peak District Air Crashes says there is a second one of these just below the fuselage, but we did not see it, and they are hard to miss. Alan Clark from the site comments as follows:" I see the other engine hasn't re-appeared at the C-47, it vanished in the flash flooding in 2002 (when Glossop was drowned), the engine that is now out in the gully was previously buried and quite a bit higher up before the flooding."
These were the lowest fragments we found, each maybe a metre long, at SK 08054 94272
