Blimey, this is a grim looking spot. My Dad was in the Fleet Air Arm in the 1950s, based at Lossiemouth for some time. They lost a few aircrew, with them flying into mountains hidden in the fog and clouds. They referred to this hazard as "Granite Overcast".
It was a reconnaissance variant of the B-29 it was fitted with cameras rather than weapons. It was one of two aircraft that took pictures of the trinity nuclear weapons tests. Hence the name with a double meaning “OVER EXPOSED” and the reason it’s believed to have not been recovered, due to radiation.
The plane was carrying the payroll £7000 in their valueation currently worth qtr of a million at least today i think, dont quote me though, the payroll was for American airbase Burtonwood when it went down.
@1:10 to me that looks like an intetcooler radiator system, 1 fitted in situ with each prop engine "behind the prop n engine between the wing edge mount
There's a great site called peak district crashes, they have a list of all 173 here: www.peakdistrictaircrashes.co.uk/category/crash_sites/peak-district/
@@anitavarley1975 Oh I see what you mean, sorry. I hadn't looked at every pin but like you say some are outside like those around stoke. Looking at the description it says "most of the crash sites are within the National Park with others close to its boundaries" - I guess they did include crashes near the boundary to make them easier to categorise?
You may like our video about that plane. We tell some of the history including some more recent stuff about a find at the crash site ruclips.net/video/_lGteb-i0e0/видео.htmlsi=sHcaW0kIjS1PC2Te
@@lebowski7717 Definitely worth a go! It’s hard to capture the scale of it on video. I’d say just try get a dry day and get the location saved on Google maps or something before as the path was a bit tricky to follow.
Yeh very sad 😕 a lot of pilots had trouble navigating in that region because of the weather and their equipment was a lot more basic than what we have today.

Great video mate
Very well put together video dude. Cool to see some short documentary style videos of the cool stuff in the uk. Looking forward to watching more
Thanks a lot! Plenty more on the way soon 🙂

Awesome video really enjoying your channel subscribed
Close enough. Welcome back Tom Scott!
Big fan of Tom Scott!
The more you know. This is very interesting to say the least
Where is this place exactly?
It's just off from a place called Snake Pass Summit. It has a pin on google maps if you search for "B29 OVEREXPOSED".
Where did you get 170 I can’t find more than 9 recorded

@@northernintrovert but there from all over the area of the UK as I said 9 from that actual area of Bleaklow plus there all from during WW11
@@anitavarley1975 Yeh that's right, the 173 are across the entire Peak District rather than just Bleaklow.
@@northernintrovert but it’s not all the Peak District granted a lot are but they go as far as stoke on Trent

Nice video! Interesting to see how it looks without the cloud too.
@northernintrovert thankyou
1:13 intercooler or radiator. Correct me if I’m wrong
This is the one over snakes pass isn’t it mate?
Aye that's the one, a mile or so walk from snake pass summit.
@@northernintrovert Drove past it many times might have to check it out after this vid
