Its a wonder that the scrap thieves haven't been and weighed 'em all in.

That would take some effort apparently.

Them low lives want easy pickings.

 

I'm gonna go and have a look one day, maybe I'll connect with my ghost plane vibe thing again.

If you need some help in finding them let me know

None under "Baslow" but it may be a hill or other landmark nearby.

Thanks, I'll probably drag my brother along, he'll probably know where to find some. If not I'll get back to you. Cheers.

Not sure if it's been posted, but you can actually see the wreckage of "Overexposed" on Google Maps:

Also, if you have google earth installed and have the google earth community markers enabled they pinpoint some of the other wreckage's around this area.

An excellent topic! I think I'd definitely would like to visit the B29 site at Bleaklow at some point. Btw, there are quite a few videos on youtube with regards to this site. Here for me is a decent one. It's an amateur video with narration. It's well worth watching the whole video but for the impatient he arrives at the site at approximately 6mins into the video.

 

 

PS. and it's a pretty recent upload

 

This link is from the Youtube channel of Daniel Staniforth from Eckington. I've posted it before, and it really is the full story of this crash site, including the story of the dead pilot's widow's visit to the site only recently. Incidentally, Daniel is a brilliant maker of very watchable videos on the pennines. His yet-to-be-completed Pennine Way series is an evening's viewing in itself. Great spot Buggz.
