Crash Site

I've written before about the number of aircraft crash sites in the Scottish mountains. There's a surprisingly high number of them and when I come across these sites I always like to find out a little more about what happened.
I recently came across this article on Walk Scotland which tells the story of a SuperFortress that crashed in the hills above Loch Goil in 1949 kiling 20 men. I wasn't aware of this tragedy before and the article provides lots of information. If you've come across this wreckage on a walk and would like to know more, have a look.
