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
