In Memoriam
Vickers Wellington R1646

On the 19th Of January 1942 During a routine training flight this aircraft crashed on high ground near Braemar due to poor weather conditions.
All eight crewmen based at 20 Operational Training Unit, RAF Lossiemouth, Lost their lives, Six crew members lie at rest within the commonwealth graves commission reservation, Dyce old churchyard, Aberdeen and two in their home cemeteries in England. The two Bristol Pegusus XVIII Engines were removed from the crash site in 1999 and one is preserved here as a permanent memorial to those and all other who lost their lives in the Cairngorm mountains.

Pretty sure someone posted a pic of this in situ seems awfy strange they only brought it down the mountain 10yrs ago.

They were probably brought down while they were builing the venicular railway and the visitor centre were being built, perhaps in the way

The footpath is in the Clachin Duach cemetery ( The Clan Macrae's Cemetery )near Dornie. Kevin was killed by a drunk driver. The foot path was partly built Kevin as he used pipe the funeral party's to the grave side and he thought the mourners deserved more than a muddy footpath and he started to build the footpath. After he was killed the community got together and decided to finish the footpath in memory of him. I had a chance meeting with his father and he told me teh story it was ever so sad to hear the story.
