B29 Superfortress - Bleaklow
B29 Engine - Bleaklow
The most famous (and prolific) wreck in the Peak I should think. Superfortress RB-29A known as "Overexposed". She dropped the test bombs at Bikini Atoll. Now at Higher Shelf Stones - Bleaklow
An engine (one of many) at Higher Shelf Stones of the "overexposed". 13 crew died when it hit in 3rd Nov 1948 on a routine flight from Scampton to Burtonwood.
All pictures here were taken with my Digital Camera!
B29 Superfortress - Bleaklow
Here you can see the extent of some of the "overexposed" wreckage. I would say to all wreck hunters that you should leave this one until last. none of the others has so much impact as this site.
Blackburn Botha - Bleaklow
C47 Skytrain - Bleaklow
This one is in William Clough and was harder to find than it should have been. My keen eyed wife Clare spotted it in the end. Quite a steep hike down from Higher Shelf Stones.
Botha W5103 - crashed Round Hill Bleaklow Dec 10th 1941. See my Panorama section for a larger picture of this site.
