Wheres this?solved by cbarnes

Is it Vickers Wellington Mk.X LP397 of No.28 OTU, that crashed near Mayfield in Staffordshire, per chance?

Ken.

I hope not cos he did tell us it was in Derbyshire

Quinny…not Mayfield or Uttoxeter

Lonewolf…I didnt say it was Derbyshire, I said it was a county that borders Derbyshire.

The county this is in is…CHESHIRE

Now lets see if you can narrow it down :smiley:

it must be bridgemere then

nothing wrong with cheating , didnt do me any harm at school…lol bit further west than creswell but still in same country!

Bolloc ks lol I read that as COUNTY no wonder I’m off the scent

OK now I’m in the right county I have you northbound on the A51 by a big garden centre.

I concur.

On 28 October 1944, during World War II, a Wellington bomber from RAF Chipping Warden in Oxfordshire crashed at Prince Hill on a training exercise. A memorial to the six airmen who died in the crash was dedicated in 2003

Bridgemere had some land near Bridgemere Hall which opened as a wildfowl park in 1972, but then expanded to a zoo which closed in 1992.

So you were near Bridgemere Garden World at the time.

Ken.

Got there eventually Lonewolf …however Senor Barnes beat you to it. :smiley:

LOL no he didn’t, you aren’t in Bridgewossname :smiling_imp:

Think you’ll find I was actually within the parish boundaries of Bridgemere, Lonewolf

Bridgemere Garden World (that owns the fences ) is on the southern edge of the parish.
