A trip across Beinn Eighe

Last night I managed to rescue some pics I took on a mate’s camera from a trip across Beinn Eighe in April…

  1. The first and penultimate pictures show the triple buttress. There is a classic hard severe right up the middle of the central buttress. The rock changes from sandstone to limestone half way up at the inflexion. I will dig out some pictures of my ascent in 19??

    Also, there is a wrecked Lincoln bomber at the top of the right hand gully, missed the top by 12ft in 1952.

    All the way down is wreckage, including a Merlin engine which was virtually intact. I have a picture of it, showing engine number, which I keep meaning to send to Rolls Royce.

  2. One for Colin really 😀

    Hey Colin, I’ve dug out that old photo of the Lincoln bomber crash in 1952.
    You see attached a picture of what I assume to be a Rolls Royce Merlin 102 engine 🙁
    I found it way down the hillside from the crash-site. You can even just make out part of the engine number.

    Do you think I should submit it to RR? Do you think they would be interested?
