Plane Wreckage near The Wain Stones, Bleaklow Head (Bleaklow Hill),

The Peak District National Park,
Derbyshire, England

About 400 m from The Wain Stones, this is a USAF Superfortress which crashed in 1948 with all crew lost. There are over a hundred wrecks in the Peak District, but I believe this is the biggest, with wreckage strewn over more than an acre or two. Much of which is still there, including all four engines and the undercarriage
