Just back from a trip into the trough of Bowland , Lancashire to visit
the crash site of Mustang Mk1 AP208 which crashed high on Holdren Moss
Near Dunsop Bridge with the sad loss of the Canadian Pilot, Flying
Officer S.P.Marlatt ,the fighter on a photographic flight had left its
base at RAF Clifton near York only 20 minutes before the crash on the
cloud shrouded hills .
The site looks as it did on the
http://laituk.org
website and in David Earls 'Hell on high ground 'book [Both well worth
reading] the flap and tank remains are still littering the site as well
as many other parts but the best was part of the fire wall Armour and
part of the lower rear fuselage
An addition to my visit to AP208 was in the car park by Langden Brooke a
stone placed as a memorial to those who lost their lives in crashes on
the local hills
