I hear yer Lindy’s lad

you might find something, the only chance is the embankment that it hit, you might find bits left from that area. but youve already answered the problem the area has been heavily redeveloped. the answer to private land question is i think the crash area falls into a couple of people’s back garden and an area of public footpath before the golf course.

there is a nice plaque but up in a street to the south of the crash site.

it is interesting going of the old maps and sketches ive seen of the area that there could be some of the embankment in place that the walkway went over.

I made my comparison research using this great web page http://www.ryhope-village.co.uk/vinegar_hill.htm

Fred Carr is done a brilliant job of bringing this area back to 1944 its amazing to see how much the area has changed.

i fancy a pop down just to compare what it looks like now.
