Another Wrekin visit this time to the site of the crash of Oxford MP299
flying from HMS Godwit , RNAS Hinstock , Shropshire on the 2nd January ,
1944 the crew of 2 Lt Cdr J.C.V.K.Watson RNVR , pilot instructor and
student Sub Lt R.C.Reeder RNVR were on 'lorenz' beam approach
training when it entered a spin from 2.000ft possibly due to turbulence
from the nearby high ground and crashed into Limekiln woods , Steeraway
with the loss of both crew .
the plane impacted in the area in the
first picture but as its now in the grounds of a golf course i didn't
have a nose for any parts that may remain i then went to Hinstock to
find Lt Watsons grave
