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

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
it must be bridgemere then

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.

Got there eventually Lonewolf …however Senor Barnes beat you to it.
LOL no he didn’t, you aren’t in Bridgewossname
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.
Sorry 'bout that, just call me Mr.Pedantic
