Hi brian, take a look at a book called Fallen Flyers its about aircraft that have crash landed in the Gower and surrounding areas, it's by a very good friend of mine called Steven H Jones. It lists a lot of the crash sites.
Well worth a look.

Hi steve,
It works on my zumo steve, and takes me to the campsite lane leading down to the house of the campsite. I'LL post some new coordinates that will take us to the top of the lane.
And hoping to make some ABR direction arrows if that is permitted. Will ask permission from the main man Alun.

I know this hasn't a lot to do with the west wales weekend, but it is in Wales,
I had a fantastic visitor today by the name of Steve (tefflon) what a lovely surprise to see him and from meeting Steve on the Dambusters. Run a wonderful relationship has begun and all from the love of motorcycles.

Motorcycles bring people together and form lasting relationships, it's like the time I met Nick we chatted onthe phone once or twice and went out for a spin and now he is my best pal
And this was all formed from our love of bikes, which makes me think that if more people in this upsetting world of ours rode motorcycles there would be less heartache and pain for everyone
