It is indeed impressive .

My only issue is the report(!) says the aircraft crashed at over 300mph - after engine failure? Journalistic licence? No other site (from the leading pages of Google) gives any speed.

Yes, I doubt that speed too...

Just looking about the net, there's quite a few wrecks up on High Peak:

You'd think that the name'd give it away!

Maybe that's why papa_smurf lives there.

Edit: amazed that the scrap dealers haven't nicked it all by now!
