Archaeology Notes

NJ06SW 8024 c. 041 628

N57 39 W3 37.3

NLO: Findhorn [name: NJ 041 642]

Findhorn Bay [name centred NJ 041 628].

Possibly on map sheet NJ06SE.

(Classified as Armstrong Whitworth Whitley IV: date of loss cited as 3 October 1940). K9031: this aircraft of 19 OTU [RAF] crashed in[to] Findhorn Bay.

Registration: British.

(Location of loss cited as N57 42.00 W3 35.00).

I G Whittaker 1998.

The location assigned to this record is essentially arbitrary. The loss of this aircraft may have occurred within the area of map sheet NJ06SE.

The current edition of the OS (GIS) MasterMap applies the name Findhorn Bay to a relatively small area of nearly-enclosed water between Findhorn, Forres and Kinloss.

This aircraft presumably crashed on taking-off from RAF Kinloss (NJ06SE 76: Kinloss Airfield), which is situated on the E side of Kinloss Bay, around NJ 0690 6300.

Information from RCAHMS (RJCM), 7 April 2011.
