I am fully aware that as soon as I create webpages for some of the lesser known aircraft crash sites that I have visited some people use my photographs to try and locate the crash site and then remove the odd item. Until we've located enough fragments at the crash site to confirm the aircraft involved I am not adding photographs showing the immediate general area of the crash site so that pieces do not go missing which may turn out to have been important to our cause. There appears to be very little at the crash as it is and losing items at this stage would not be ideal. The photographs on this page show the general area of where this aircraft crashed in the Coniston Fells. It has been suggested that the parts located at this "Beechcraft" crash site could be from any of the other known aircraft crash sites in the Coniston range but this cannot be the case. I have located all the other sites in the area and this site is in a different area to all of the others and out of the wreckage trail of any of the other crashed aircraft.

The Old Man of Coniston from Coniston Hall on the morning of the 72nd anniversary of the crash.

The photograph shown above was taken from nearby Black Crag looking towards Coniston in February 2014; The Old Man of Coniston is the mountain with snow on it on the right of the photograph.

The photograph shown above is taken from Wetherlam looking towards the Old Man of Coniston, it also shows both crash sites of Hurricanes AG264 and AG275. I have located all the other crash sites in the Coniston area and can rule out the finds made in February 2014 as coming from any of these other aircraft.

These two photograph are taken from Harter Fell looking roughly south over the Coniston Fells and towards Morcombe Bay. The photograph shown above shows Brim Fell with The Old Man of Coniston just left of centre and with Dow Crag on the right. The photograph below shows the area to the right of that shown on the photograph above and shows Dow Crag on the left, Brown Pike in the centre and White Maiden on the right. I suggest that the crew of the Beechcraft were trying to fly along the coastline shown at the back of these two photographs but had drifted too far in land and flew into the end of the Coniston range while attempting to re-find the coast.
