Aircraft wreckage on the Campsie Hills, Scotland

A few years ago, while cross-country skiing across the Camsie Hills above Lennoxtown in Scotland, we came across Aircraft wreckage just below the summit of Meikle Bin.

We later did some research and discovered it was a Fairey Firefly which crashed on the mountain in the Fifties. http://www.scotcrash.homecall.co.uk/site19.htm

I have returned on several occasions, and the wreckage is still there.


Often on a sunny day (yes we do sometimes have them in Scotland) while driving along the "Crow Road" between Lennoxtown and Fintry, you can spot the wreckage, just below the summit reflecting the sunlight.
