Found this article and I have never seen these photos of the crash site as found in any magazine so thought others would be intererested. I spent many hours in the Uk trekking to high ground wrecks and I am astonished at how late this wreck was found untouched in 1976.

Thanks for posting that. It’s the fullest account of this accident that I’ve ever read. Back in the 1970s I met Bernard Sowerby and he kindly presented me with the Hampden’s radio which he had brought back from a recent visit to the crash site. I passed it on to my friend Doug Darroch who founded the Warplane Wreck Museum at Fort Perch, New Brighton, Wirral, where it is still on display.
