Yesterdays trip out on the Triumph with Tricia to find the crash site
of Mustang III SR 411 which crashed on Darwen moor Above the town of
Darwen , Lancashire on the 29th July 1945 , the plane being flown by
PAF pilot Herbert Noga , 316 Squadron RAF Coltishall was on a cross
country [Thanks Alan Clarke for update on flight info ] when in hazy visibility it
stuck the moor land and broke up with the sad loss of Noga .
On the
moor there still are a few remains in a shallow crater and a small
memorial to the pilot even after a few digs by different groups some
things still remains buried and in the wall of the crater i found this
electrical item ? I left it in its resting place such A lovely place
with such a sad story but well worth a visit
