This large cross on Ruabon MT is said to be to a polish pilot which lost their life in one of the 15 air crashes in the area but it seems it may be to Spitfire X4713 Which crashed on 16.11.41 with the loss of the pilot Cyril Cocks his plane hit about 14 metres away from the cross but I have no further details !
Some remains of X4713 will poss still be near however given the effort that has been put into clearing the site up on this MT don't hold yer breath !!
REF SJ 24243 47589
