Secret Airbase…..

Can anyone try to find the Kielder Forest. The crashsite of Halifax DK116 (very substantial that one, at least it was) is located there on private ground.
Perhaps it can be spotted from the air.

Cheers

Find newcastle, and go north west, Keilder is the largest forest visible. It surrounds the reservoir. If I get some co-ordinates, I’ll post them later. Part of the fuselage of that Halifax (DK116) is at North East Aircraft Museum. Again, I’ll get a photo and post it later if you like. Don’t know the rest of the site…. Incidentaly, there are no big bits of wreckage visible on the Cheviot even though there is a Lancaster, a B29, and dozens of fighters littering the area….

edit : Keilder forest and reservoir are visable at 55`12’41.43 N , 2`25’38.41W
at an eye height of approx 13 miles, the whole of the park is visable with the reservoir at its centre. Hope it helps… happy hunting

Spadeadam ranges in Northumberland has a veritable aircraft musum. go to
55`03’43.82N 2`32’50.69 W and you will find 4 x T-33s and 8 other aircraft which I cannot recognise… maybe mysteres….

Just Jane is on the ramp at East Kirby….
