WW2 Aircraft crash sites

[Barnoe]

Although not in Ireland, here's another one close to me. An early RAF P51 Mustang, AP208, which flew into high ground in 1942 killing the pilot, a 29 year old Canadian.

These pictures are from 2009 and 2005 when there was quite a lot of wreckage still on the moor. The engine is probably buried there too, it wouldn't have been worth the effort to recover it from that location. (It was an Allison V-1710 28 litre V12, not a Merlin.) There's also another B24 Liberator, 42-100322, five miles east of this site.

Co-ordinates are N53 57 05.4 W2 35 55.0
