Over 150 aircraft have crashed in the Peak District, mostly on the bleak moorland which the area is renowned for. Due to the remote nature of these places, most of the wreckage remains where it fell, waiting to be discovered by adventurous hill walkers with the navigational skill or good luck to find them.
Andrew McCloy took a trip out to see them, with photography by Mike Smith, which he's been kind enough to share with us.

Warnings and disclaimer
If you are planning to visit the crash site, please ensure you have the right kit - map, compass and the skills to use them are crucial. It's boggy, wet and frequently low visibility up there and you won't always get a connection on your phone. Waterproofs and good boots with ankle support are also essential. If you need any advice, why not pop in to see us?
Why isn't this junk cleaned up? People moan about the state of Everest but that's a difficult operation. There's no excuse here, it's easily accessible.

Well, that's one way to look at it!
