A cold trip out but managed to get a view of the field on Benthall Bank
near Broseley,Telford , Shropshire where on the 7th May 1944 Thunderbolt
P-47C 41-6627, 551st FTS crashed during a instrument training flight
from RAF Atcham the Pilot flying with one other P-47 piloted by Lt Jack F
Flaitz began climbing turns but the fighter snap rolled into a spin,
recovering from this the plane was seen to enter a flat spin from which
it never escaped the pilot exited the plane but tragically could not get
clear before impact
This is about the best pictures i could get of the site due to access and weather

2Lt David Finney
