Wreck sites on Dartmoor….

The present Mrs Buckshot and i will be holidaying soon in Dartmoor…
We are both keen walkers and i was curious to know if any anyone out there knew of any wreck/crash sites in/on the dartmoor area that might be of interest…
Any info gratefully recieved..
Thanks in advance..

Not much to see i believe.

Unlike the higher ground ‘up north’, most of Dartmoor is accessible/walkable and hence recovered/plundered. Remember the recent Barra’ parts offered on eBay ?
