Dark Peak Hikes

      In Dark Peak Hikes 50 aircraft wreck sites (with 10-fig map references) are given.

      Since the book was published I have found these aircraft wreck sites:

      Hawker Hunter  by Dukes Road on Round Hill (Walk 24) Map ref: SK 20851/94345 & 20879/94350

      Wellington on Rud Hill (Walk 25) Map ref: SK 26157/83824

      Vampire on Strines Moor (Walk 24) Map ref: SK 21844/89801

      On the following sites, wreckage may be found in locations additional to those given in the book
