A sad reminder of young lives lost Ian
As per Ian nice job…. day off Friday? lucky with the weather 🙂 Kinder Scout how many lives has this place claimed over the years 🙁
Looks like some piece of contemporary sculpture stranded in the bog.
Thanks guys. Got some catching up to do…

re; Friday off – this was sunday – just noticed, I must have the date set wrong on my camera! That’s two days behind, and my watch is two days in front, and they’re talking about changing BST again… I can’t keep up.
These are great shots Ian , the flash as lifted them completely giving a different feel from mine , which are very dark (both meanings) . I think the images definately improve with the flash . Particuarily the lead shot .
Well done on finding an appropriate contemporary image , I searched for hours and found very little .
Great shot Ian, so well lit!! A sad reminder of a tragic day!!!
Wow! Fantastic capture! It is always interesting reading and seeing your shots! %-)
I still am amazed how many aircraft are still on the hills, thanks for posting, always had a soft spot for RAF Sabres but this one had a tragic end.

Amazing shot
Wow.Excellent work !!!
Wow! Amazing find! Nice work.
Interesting series Ian. I think here they would gather it all up and take it to a hanger somewhere. Even the private pilots planes will get carted away. It so interesting to see the wreckage still here. A silent testimony. Thanks for sharing these.
oddly beautiful image
Always facinated by these shots and the stories.
