From Todays trip out with Ade Wilkes
to the Brown Clee Hill, Shropshire and the site of Mustang AP171
which crashed on the southern side of the hill on June 11, 1943 with the
loss of Canadian Flying Officer S.P.R. Brouillette .
The plane was
flying in poor weather on a training flight over the Shropshire borders
when it hit the lower slopes of the Brown clee hill breaking up over the
steep slope
After a zigzag on the slope and checking Rabbit holes 1
.50 Bullet was located then near the fence a piece of coolant tube was
found by 2 posts showing signs of impact damage then further up the
slope a second nearly complete .50 round was found confirming the site
