   Nice shot, Ian. I like how the wreckage leads the eye to the memorial in the background.
   The colour and contrast coupled with the mist make for an eerie feel.

   This is all very interesting , I knew of and have seen some of these sites but I did not realise the proliferacy of air crashes on our hills .
