Mosquito, Shetland

All that is left, the wood has long since gone and I suspect that some of the metal has been recycled by islanders.

Catalina, Yell

The remains of one wing beside a large burn pit.

Seafire, Irish Law

The tail plane and rear fuselage amongst the debris field.

Box Law, Wellington

Not much is left of this aircraft, a lot must have been recovered by the RAF after the crash.

Finalty Hill, Whitley

You can make out the bottom of the crew entrance way on the large section of wreckage at the centre.

Fathan Glinne, Whitley

This aircraft is one of a few that crashed on an operational flight rather than a training mission. Most notable in this picture is one of the main wheels. The large amount of dry grass indicates that this hole was well filled with snow, good bedding for mice!

Fathan Glinne, Whitley

The corrugated skin is a particular feature of the Whitley. Notable on this picture is large patches of the camouflage paint on the skin.

Glen Lee Whitley

This was a bit of a mystery just one wing tip and that was all, no impact point nothing. This aircraft broke up in mid air, the rest of the wreckage is about a mile away from here. This illustrates just how solid the Whitley was, look at the thickness of the wing.

Photo was taken in winter, with a dusting of snow, another added hazard when out visiting wreck sites.

Succoth Glen B-29

One of the more famous wrecks, at the time of the Berlin Blockade Harry Truman sent over the B-29s to England. The Russians did not know if they carried nuclear bombs or not.

This one was returning home with 20 crew on board. There is a lot of mystery concerning this aircraft and the possible existence of a 21st crewman.
