Visited this site along with 2 others last remembrance Sunday with a mate to place remembrance poppies on them ...
Crashed in poor visibility on 30 January 1943. 2 of the 5 crew survived.
Flight Lieutenant Anthony Winter Lane, Pilot Officer Charles Douglas Brown, and Sgt Raymond Gerard Rouse were killed. Pilot Officer Grisdale and Sgt Miller were injured.
This was a training flight. Those killed were in the nose of the Wellington.
(and yes they are .303 rounds ,I did try poking them with a stick :shock: )
A VERY poignant day out on some very bleak and low visibility moorland ....probably very similar conditions to which the aircraft foundered .
