[303rd-Talk] Re: Cheviot Hill crash location

[rex pearce]

On the subject of faulty navigation I remember reading
a crash report of a B17 that took off from Molesworth
on an operation in conditions of mist, and flew on
a reciprocal bearing  west instead of east. From memory
this plane crashed in Wales after about an hour's flight.
