B-17G s/n 42-31420 Wreck. Ireland

Hi all

Last weekend, after three attemps, I was able to locate the wreck of the B-17 s/n 42-31420 that crashed on 9 dec 1943 near Mt.Truksmore summit, Co.Sligo, Ireland.

Here an interesting and complete article of Dennis Burke about accident:

Attached pics of the wreck.

Cheers
