Walrus crash

I suspect you are correct Alan,i have visited possible crash site of Walrus but not found any evidence of the of the crash so far.I was chatting to a local man in Crieff who didnt recall the accident either.He did say he remembers a JU 88 crashing in Glen Turret,that could possibly be the Walrus…who knows??..thanks again Alan.

Hi Al Paul..I used to refuel the Nimrods at Kinloss.Just wondered if you ever came across Shackleton VP259 crash site at Haldon Hill near Forres.I believe it crashed 10.01.58 during a night time approach to Kinloss.
