P-47 42-75090 Moel Bentyrch, Welshpool

 The other site visit was to  P-47  Moel Bentyrch by Welshpool where P-47 42-75090 crashed on the 20th march 1943 the pilot 1st Lt N.Tucker was on a B-17 escort mission but on returning became lost over due to bad weather on letting down through cloud the plane struck the top of Moel Bentyrch and broke up falling down the east slopes the engine stopped at the wall, Lt Tucker was lost.
After a good search I found nothing on the slope or at the impact site but much maybe hidden on the scee and in the long grass
