Dartmoor RAF memorial by Jannyfox, on Flickr

A Hampden bomber of 49 Sqn crashed here in March 1941, returning from an operation over France and caught out by bad weather. All 4 crew died. Dartmoor claimed a number of aircraft in the same way during WWII. There is still wreckage at two other sites I know.
