Abstract: |
The project involved the recording and partial removal of crashed aircraft debris from a site known for the purposes of the Dartmoor Mires Project as Flat Tor Pan. On 31 May 1965, a Sea Vixen, from Royal Navy 776 Squadron, crashed on the site during a training flight. The pilot and his observer ejected safely but crash resulted in a large crater in the bog and the dispersal of fuselage across what is no a restoration site. It was necessary to record and recover some of the Sea Vixen debris prior to Unexploded Ordnance survey of the installation of hydrological monitoring enclosures. |
