Hi everyone,
Has anybody got information on Seafire SP325, to my knowledge it collided with another aircraft and crashed in the Manchester area.
I have been given a few artifacts which had been picked up from the crash site back in the 1970’s, by whom I do not know, but I have been thinking of putting them on show in a small frame with a short history etc.
So any information would be greatly recieved,know its a very long shot but a photograph would put the icing on the cake 🙂
Thank you all

Rob, The full account of this accident is in the book `PEAKLAND AIR CRASHES` – Central by Pat Cunningham p.107. There is also a photo of the crashed aircraft SP325 taken at the time. If you have any problems finding a copy of the book give me a shout via PM with your e-mail and I`ll scan the relevant pages for you.
Regards
Dave
