B-26 44-68072 Y Garn

B-26 44-68072 hit the ridge of Y Garn on the 1/2/45 on a delivery flight to RAF Burtonwood with the loss of all on board !.
This control pulley was the highest part I found and was just at the foot of the cliffs 200ft below the ridge line the bomber broke up scattering parts over a wide area of the scree much has been removed over the years !
This area just in front was where the main part of the bomber burned out there is many small parts but the scree is very loose and much has been buried !.
