Third site of my trip was Avro Anson N9853 which crashed a short walk
away from the Dragon site this plane flying from RAF. Newton ,Nottingham
to take 3 instructors to RAF. Millom, Cumbria on the 11th December 1944
But the fickle Pennine's weather led to the pilot loosing contact with
the ground letting down to find a fix the plane impacted Edale moor
injuring to varying degrees the 6 personnel on board all survived this
crash .
.
On the moor in the gully i found scattered remains
and both engines still resident walking up hill there is a area of
small remains of wood, screws ,glass and perspex plus near by some
battery parts and this Bakelite Knob lying in the wall of the scar [any
ideas ?]
Flt A. Chelstowski, pilot
Flt sgt S. Pasinski, wireless
operator
Flt M, passenger
Flt W. Siuda, passenger F/o J LKlimczak, passenger
another passenger on the plane is as far as I know still unidentified
