Miles Martinet HN888 Cwm Bach 21st December 1945

A few from today's trip out to the borders with Gary Watts to look for 2 sites around Great Rhos Near New Radnor , Wales this is the site of the loss of Miles Martinet HN888 the crew of 2 were flying a route from their home base at Pembrey to Castle Bromwich on the 21st December 1945 for a Christmas leave but flying north east they ran into poor weather lost or flying a return to base the crew over the hills near Great Rhos flew into the steep valley of Cwm Bach hitting the steep slope sadly both crew were lost the site was not found until February 1946

At the site today High up on the slope is a small scar with a few small remains heading down there are a few bits scattered down the steep stream bed until you come across one of the most intact engines i have ever found at a site in the UK the last few parts way below the impact site is the engine ring and a lonely pipe
