I remember visiting the site many years back and talking to a eyewitness, he pointed out the spot where the one aircraft went in, the farmer Mr Harris had helped clear the wreckage with his tractor and trailer. Although the aircraft crashed into a sand pit the area he pointed out was possibly undisturbed and not mined out, Mr Harris believed the aircraft engine was not recovered, we’ve heard that before ! However this chap was 16 at the time and may be correct or not, i never went any further on investigating.
I did however find a Valiant Radome in a garden nearby !
