On the 6/4/49 P9299 a Mk 1c from 311Sqn Czech training unit at East Wretham was on a training flight when after descending through cloud found it's self in the tight valley of Cwm Dyniewyd near Llanmawddwy the pilot may have seen the water fall that is at the head of the valley and tried to climb away but sadly the Wellington not the best performer hit the side of the valley with the loss of the crew of six =
Sergeant Aldis Keda .
Sergeant Rudolf Grimm
Sergeant Jindrich Horinek
Flight Sergeant Jan Stanovsky
Pilot Officer Jan Stefek

The only remains I could find were a small bracket and one bit of bracing on the scree at the site, some other remains were pictured some time back at the foot of the scree but have either now been 'saved ???' or buried !
