FAIREY BARRACUDA DR306

On 15th December 1945 whilst on a cross country navigational exercise flying out of RNAS Rattray in Scotland, Pilot Officer J.R. Crevier had a fortunate escape when he crashed into the flank of Whernside in the Yorkshire Dales. With only minor injuries he managed to walk off the hillside unaided.

What now remains of the wreckage is now scattered through reeds and long grass.

Some very easy to find items are located in the wall below the impact point.
