Just back from another epic peaks trip with Sean Moran and the terrible two some 10 miles and 6 sites in fantastic
weather first up Heyford K6875 which crashed on Broadlee Bank Top ,
Edale Valley during a night navigation exercise from 166 Sqn Leconfield,
Yorkshire July 22nd ,1937 the plane flying in poor weather was about 13
miles off course when it stuck the ridge exploded in flames with the
loss off all six souls onboard many locals rushed to the scene but
could do nothing to help the unfortunate crew .
At the cr
ash
site a small burn area littered with fragments remains as the only
reminder of the terrible events but after a short look about I brought
up a few bits which stood out two buckles and remains of a zip being the
best
