Halifax LL541 , Elan Valley

This small pile of remains High above the Elan Valley is all that can be seen at the final resting place of Halifax B Mk V LL541 which fell here on the 12th December 1944, the plane of 1664 HCU flying from Dishforth ,York got into difficulty and dived on to high ground near Pen-y-bwlch with the loss of all the crew !
On the hill there is a well defined scar with few fragments in it  and a small collection of parts to one side some other bits can be found in the heather all around  but nothing big remains due to  so called 'recovery ' activity at this site! luckily some parts can be found on display in Rhayaders museum as some small tribute to the lost men   but much else has disappeared !
