Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Wreck of MF509 I came upon this quite unexpectedly. This is the second crash site and memorial for a WW2 plane I am aware of on the Black Mountain (the other being 327972 )

The broken tubes and lattice work are the remains of Wellington # MF509 which crashed on the 20th November 1944. It was manned by a 6 strong crew of Canadians. The most prominent upright tube has had a small Canadian flag placed in its top.
