Full Description
An RNAS Seafire aircraft is recorded as having crashed in a potato field near Upper Wyndings farm on 11 November 1944. Two farmworkers on the ground (one an Italian prisoner of war) were killed. The exact location is unclear although in one (later) source it has been described as as being south of the Auchenblae Road where the ground slopes. Parts of the aircraft were noted at being scatted over a distance of 450 yards.
