I just heard yesterday that there is still the remains of a crashed WW2 RAF aircraft near the summit of Meikle Binn in the Campsies. This was from a hill walker who has seen it a few times. You can also see Ailsa Craig.
It seems its quite an easy walk up to it ............ Might consider it some clear winter's day soon.

Don't know if that particular one is listed on this site http://members.lycos.co.uk/daveswrecks/

I had some more links to Scottish wrecks, but now have too many, and can spot it by eye!

Trouble is that most of the easily accessible sites have been cleared by the MoD etc. and then by the locals, and then by disrebutable souvenir hunters.

In more recent years, they have also be cleared by those involved in restoration... it's lucrative. A pile of virtually unrecognisable junk can be well into 5 figures with suitable provenace and enough museums fighting for it.

If I come across the other links, I'll stick them in here.

Doh! Found it http://www.scotcrash.homecall.co.uk/

Look there for the Fairey Firefly if memory serves me right.

Well at least its there and I fancy a jaunt up to see it but more particularly the view from Meikle Binn.

Came across another site listing details of wrecks and locations:

Don't know if any of you are into Geocaching (well, I suppose I do know) but if you were looking for any of the wrecks, searching without a GPS would really make it something of a hit-and-miss operation, and I speak from experience of almost 3 year's ROC post hunting. It really just wouldn't happen without it (or not in a reasonable time anyway).

Now you can combine the two interests, as a cache now exists near a wrecked Fairey Firefly in the area of Muirhead Loch.

See the main site for details of the Fairey Firefly cache site.

Obligatory mention faor anyone new, that such sites are not a source of souvenirs, being memorials to those who lost their lives, and also Crown property.

Hi all, newbie here

Earlier this year I took some photographs of this site which can be found at http://www.aircrashsites-scotland.co.uk/firefly_meikle_bin.htm together with further information.  GPS information is also provided.

Hi Viking1948, and welcome.

Thanks for the info, this is one we certainly haven't managed to trawl up, although the date of 2008 on the pics might just help mitigate our omission.

Certainly shows that there's plenty of interest there to reward any that makes the effort.
