Peak District Air Accident Research

Bristol Beaufighter T. F. Mk.X JM223 of 9 Operational Training Unit, dived into the ground on Croglin Fell in the North Pennines to the east of Carlisle on the 4th July 1943 while on a training flight from Crosby on Eden near Carlisle. 

Only small fragments of the aircraft remain at the site today along the panel visible in the photo. The depression in which the parts lie is probably the one caused by the crash.
