Area English Electric Canberra WT505 crashed on Ponsonby Fell
We found no wreckage during our visit to Ponsonby Fell, but we know that the tail came to rest in the foreground of the photo. There is a photo showing the tail at the time in Air Crashes in The Lake District which was matched to this point.
The tail lay part way along the wreckage trail left by the crash, the last parts were just beyond the wall shown in the centre of the image.
