Avro Anson N9853
On the 11th December 1944 , this aircraft flying from RAF Newton to RAF Millom and piloted by Flt.Lt. Aleksander Chelstowski , crashed into the plateau on top of Kinder Scout in the Dark Peak . He was accompanied on the flight by his wireless operator a Flt Sgt Stefan Pasinski and 4 passengers . Happily all survived the crash on the snow covered top .
After a couple of clearances little remains apart from the two engines and a few panels .
I,ve visited the site on a couple of occasions . Never in very clement weather though . Our last visit was in pouring rain ,our first in snow and low cloud .
Missed this upload Paul. You have visited in lousy weather - occasions I have been this way has been on blue sky scorchers.
ReplyDeleteYes , it was supposed to be a nice day the second time but it managed to piss down all the while were up on the tops ......of course soon as we retreated it started to sunshine . Still havent been to the Dominie site a few hundred metres away ....we were cold and wet by this point and had had enough .
