Aircraft wreckage on Conachair

Uploader's Comments

This is all that remains of a long range night fighter, a Bristol Beaufighter LX798 of 304 FTU based at Port Ellen, Islay, which crashed on the night of June 3, 1943, with the loss of two crew. The rest of the wreckage slipped down the slope and into the sea.
