- Me and my pal @meandmyguitar take a very windy walk from Snakes Pass Summit in Derbyshire, to the site of the crashed USAF B-29 Bomber nicknamed 'The Overexposed'.
The plane crashed in fog on November the 3rd 1948 killing all 13 on board whilst on a routine flight from RAF Scrampton to a USAF base near Warrington in the north west of England.
Despite the decades passed, the wreckage is still in tact and is surrounded by memorials to those that lost their lives.

Great Video. I went up there about 10 years ago and most of the wings, fuel tanks etc were still intact. So much has gone in a relatively short time . Going back to the late 70's when I was at college, our Librarian who was an amazing chap showed me some photos from when he went up about another 10 years before then. The tailplane was still there standing upright and some of the fuselage was still intact. Looks like there's been a lot of souvenir hunters taking bits away. Such a shame !
Yes, I think people have taken parts if it to be honest.
Great video Gaz thanks
Heartrending to see, I would have cried I think, if I visited the site... Raf Scampton, currently in the news somewhat.
Yeah it's a strange atmosphere
great video ♥️
Made me think of Roswell a bit
Rik Mayall playing dominoes in the Slaughtered Lamb after?
Mate, I've just been up on the Yorkshire Moors and the fog rolled in. Strong American Werewolf vibes.
Can't you put a fluffy thing on the microphone to reduce wind noise?
Use my phone and normally the noise reducer helps but this is like being in a wind tunnel.
It certainly gets windy at about 2000ft.
