- Finding the remains of a Hudson Lockheed which crashed in bad weather high up on the Grampion mountain range in 1941. The site is very remote and difficult to locate, it is also under snow for most of the year, this was in July 2015 and there are still parts buried under snow and ice. Both radial engines remain as do parts of the wings and tail section which still shows its identification number.
If you enjoyed this video please check out my channel and other videos. We get up to allsorts.
Cheers. - กีฬา
Thank you for your video, it was on my bucket list to see this. My Uncle (Fred Lown) died there with his comrades all those years ago. My father who now is close to 90 years old still remembers his much older brother who went to war.
God bless Uncle Pip.

Very sad, I lost a half brother, on the last RAF OP of WW2, 3/5 1945.
Philip Croft sorry for your loss. There are no winners in war just casualties. The way world is going these days it’s a real worry.
Bless you all. Hero generation gave everything for freedom in WW2. Let's keep hold of those freedoms we have left they went to war for. RIP. YNWA!
Rest in Peace…

Thank You for shring this. Great material. Greetings from WW2HistoryHunter
I looked it up..that is a Lockheed Hudson Mk III. My grandfather flew one of those with the RCAF 407 Demons during WWII. The is pretty cool history there..
If you gather enough serial numbers of the parts that have visible numbers on them you can search archives and find out which airplane this was. RAF or USAF I am sure would keep such records. Great video man.
spectacular scenery
Thanks for sharing this video. I wrote the story on this accident in a book in 1999 `Hell on High Ground` Volume 2. RIP F/Sgt D.E.Green & Crew.
I have your book sir! Fascinating read.......
That was one of the interesting videos i've seen in a long time ’👍
Super cool! thxs for the good work and videos :) .
Lockheed Hudson Mk.III T9432 / ZS-B of No.233 Sqn RAF, crashed on Ben Lui near Tyndrum on the 15th April 1941.
(Manufacturer first, then Model.)
Fascinating video. I have climbed to find the remains of old crashed planes in my time.
Interesting, thanks for the video !
Thanks for sharing.
Interesting vid,thanks for sharing
The wreckage was most probably gathered up by the recovery crew, and thrown into the gully to avoid possible confusion with any future crashes in that location. Bigger sections and engines were often left on site, as no helicopters were available back then.
those look like Wright R-1820 radial engines in the wreckage.
Poingniant. Where I live,near Snowdonia there are quite a few crash sites mainly from the second world war. There is one crash site in a place called Cwm Echo just south of Snowdon itself. It was an Air Lingus DC3 which crashed in January 1952 killing 23 people. So severe the crash that many bodies couldn't be retrieved as it had River at great speed into ,boggy ground. My uncle many years ago took himself and his dog to the site which is very remote. The tail section was still sticking out of the bog (removed by Snowdonia national park authorities in 1980) As my uncle approached the eerie sight his dog just sat and wouldn't budge. The dog was just snarlliing and refused to move further. Needless to say,my uncle decided to go back to the car and get away as soon as he could!
Gareth Williams that’s spooky
The spirits of the fallen ,dogs can sense their presence , off souls not, at peace 🙏 unrest.
Great video
They were so close to making it over the hill - just a few feet. May the rest in peace

How very high the cost of war . . .
I pray these brave men rest peacefully.
Thank you bro
Very interesting on many levels. That wasn’t you who was driving all those Santa’s in the APC that got stuck was it?
Haha no, but I do know the person in question !!
I wonder how much of the original aircraft has been robbed and now lived in people homes as macabre relics? Amazing video though. Thanks for posting.
This sort of thing has been happening as long as aircraft have crashed. A privately owned helicopter crashed not too far from my village 20 odd years ago, and all the parts except 3 were recovered. An appeal was put out for the missing components to be returned, as one of them may have held a vital clue why the crash happened. As far as I'm aware, the parts were not handed in.....
To all the Allied Heroes of WW ll. May they be remembered always.
Wondered why the highland spring water tasted a bit different.: )
the engine looks like a Wright R-1820.
Propper job in Scotland Ben O
This was a training plane (T)...
The Hudson had a triple tail I seem to remember?
I've done that and I was only 12
Was that the same plane that was carrying Prince John - The Queens uncle? He died in a plane accident in Scotland. Not sure where though!
Have you been to the crsh site in the peak district? It's a B-29 superfortress.
There’s a b-29 crash site not that far from this crash site too
Near Lochgoilhead
I think that is TN-432
An English plane.!
A Hudson, built by the American company Lockheed. Many were 'Lend/Leased' to the British.
Where is this
Where about in Scotland is this if you don't mind sharing. Tia
Near the summit of Ben Lui
‘Landing legs ‘ = undercarriage and ‘radio engine’ = radial engine
A landing leg is part of the undercarriage.... 🤣 and they are radial engines
Shame someone had to cut off the blades...should either be recovered entirely or left where it is..otherwise it's just vandalism.
Not the mark of an English plane but the mark of a British plane. Common misconception of english people is to think that they are the only country in the UK.
Ah that’s just my fault none of it was scripted I just said the first thing that came into my head 😬
Excellent work on the video though & I thoroughly enjoyed it. I am watching more of your videos now and they are all well made and very interesting. I live about half hour or so from this site so couldn’t help but make that small observation :)
@@BenoCam Good. most patriotic. How many times do the Scots Welsh and Irish claim 'Ownership' , and the English shrug and say nothing. Pathetically insecure I say.
@@MrDaiseymay Claim ownership of what exactly? You wont hear anyone here claiming that Scotland won the war.
Philip Croft wow that is so big of you 😂evidently you don’t just shrug and say nothing otherwise you wouldn’t be commenting this thread. Yea & how dare the Scottish, Irish or Welsh try and claim their part in the union. The only thing that is pathetic here is your comment but your point of view doesn’t shock me at all considering you are English.
Enough comments already about English !!! plane.
My next video of a crashed airplane on a mountain I’m going to give the title English plane wreck found on Scottish mountain. Just so everyone comments and gives it a watch . I think it would do really well.
It was a BRITISH plane! The RAF crews came from all parts of the UK and many other countries.You acknowledged that you were on a Scottish mountain so how can you make this mistake?
Because it was all unscripted/spur of the moment talking which I only recorded for a bit of fun to show my mates back home what I was up too while in Scotland ? 🙂
Sorry but you shouldn’t really be touching them first it’s history and a few of them are still war graves
This plane crash site is high up on a mountain that every year gets totally buried in snow and ice, which crush and slowly move the wreckage as it melts every summer.
In another 50 years this site will look totally different to today, and if this video is still online not a single person will say “look how damaged the wreckage is now all because you touched a few of the bits while making that video 50 years ago”
Again, I repeat myself, the British military needs to clean up these environment messes they leave behind. Get 50 men, go up there with helicopters, clean the goddamm mess up and bring it down for salvage. It will be good training for the ground troops!
Why would the US military get involved? this is a British aircraft on a Scottish mountain?!
Corrected to British Military - Generic - military of country!
these sites ARE considered as gravesites and should be revered as such. People died here.
@@fredflintstone7575 do you leave car crashes in the environment? Clean up the site & restore back to nature...I have no doubt those who died would want it that way also!
@@richardnailhistorical3445 actually Richard I do know that such sites were cleaned up and crosses left at the scenes. as memorials to those lost.
An english plane 😡😡😡
