 Home from a very cold and snowy Wales after a look for the site of P-47D Thunderbolt 42-75101,495th FTG which stuck the top of Mynydd Copog , near Mallwyd on the 4th May 1944 the Pilot 1st Lt J.W. Beauchamp was flying from Atcham and conducting authorized aerobatics but strayed over high ground getting into difficulty's over the hills the pilot managed to recover from a spin but had no more height sadly the plane broke up on impact with the loss of the young pilot .
The site seem to have lost a few bits since my last visit in the 90.s and has been heavily tampered with the remains were in the gully with the engine but someone has dragged them to the side hmmmm
