seafires

On the 16/7/49 two sefires collided over a field very near the b-17 site on birchenough hill with the loss of both pilots , this piece is the biggest i found on the hill and is in a stream bed on the site all the other remains are between this and the wall in the lower photo


It is a bit sad that the memorial for the b-17 which is only a few hundred feet away makes no ref to this accident and the two young pilots lost ,who have no memorial !.
ref SJ 99180 67337
Thanks to sean and mick at peak wreckhunters for great help in finding these sites !
