Full Description
Several aircraft are recorded as having crashed into Findhorn Bay, including a Whitley IV K 9031 on 5th November 1940 (which is known to have been subsequently recovered), a Bristol Buckmaster RP149, and a Whitley V N1354. Four other Whitley aircraft are reported as having been 'ditched' in Findhorn Bay. It is assumed that these aircraft were also recovered, as there is no visible evidence now at low tide.
