The skeletal remains of a Wellington bomber which came to grief in the Angus hills between Ben Tirran and Muckle Cairn on 9 August 1942. The aircraft was believed to have been on a test flight from Lossiemouth when it lost part of an engine cowling, damaging a propeller and causing engine failure. Whilst attempting a forced landing, the aircraft crashed with the loss of four crew. Remarkably, the tail gunner survived the accident.

Largely intact, the tail section is the most recognisable remains of this Wellington bomber which crashed near Ben Tirran, Angus, 67 years ago, killing four of the five crew members on board. The Wellington's geodetic design, developed by Barnes Wallis, can clearly be seen in this shot, and despite the ravages of time, is still in remarkable condition. The crash site, one of many littering the Scottish mountains, serves as a memorial to those who died in the accident.
