Here lies the wreckage of B-29 Superfortress Overexposed of the 16th photographic reconnaissance squadron usaf. which tragically crashed whilst decending through cloud on 3rd November 1948 killing all 13 crewmembers. The aircraft was on a routine flight from RAF Scampton to American AFB Burtonwood. It is doubtful the crew ever saw the ground.

For a shorter route to the crash site take the Snake Pass as opposed to the Woodhead pass

As Gemma and Mal said, 13 lost US Airmen lost their lives in this 1948 air crash. Back in Wales the hillsides are festooned with similar wreckage sites from UK, Commonwealth and US aircraft and their fallen aircrew. Always sad to see and I always like to pay my respects. Paid my two minute homage of silence. Rest in peace fallen flyers, never forgotten.
