Although this is more recent than some, the wreckage looks surprisingly ‘fresh’. It could be the materials used of course.
Good info and shot as usual Ian
Oh , its not an effect , it really is steep , very steep , I just never noticed that much whilst there , I was preoccupied with the wreck .:-)
here is a link to a shot of this fell and I have marked the gulley we are in with a note . http://www.flickr.com/photos/pasujoba44/4180624829/
Hello ‘Ian’. I think I may have ‘posted’ on under wrong name. My friends uncle was the pilot. Ha has expressed a wish to visit the site and pay his respects. Could you let me have a 6 or 8 fig. grid ref? Or failing that any directional info. you can supply.
Thanks everyone. It was pretty steep in parts, wobbly rocks but at least it was in the sun so all the ice had melted.

fascinating stuff. Wrecks in the Sierras will be far more preserved than anything here, climate and absence of people. Something terribly sad about ending up in so lonely a spot.

That’s ok, give me a minute, I will take a look.
Hi Alan
Who was your friend,whos uncle was the pilot.I am the pilots son.
Hi Alan this was my school friends Dad
Thank you for clarifying, Paul. I never would have thought it was actually that steep, and that Ian had amazing, wizard-like illusionary powers… 😉 ;D
Great shot , Ian! The light and the darkness makes the spot look even more precarious. Nice work!
Ian Mckellan , dont ya know , the wizardy wizard of em all. On the slopes of Mordor.
Way to tie it allin!
Wonder how far our Ian is in the book…
So high!!!!!
Superb shot Ian
