I pretty much live at the end of one of the old runways of an old WW2 airbase , RAF Hardwick, the 93rd heavy BG .
A B-24 Liberator crashed at the end of what is now my garden killing all crew , im yet to see a ghostly Liberator smash into the end of my garden

Theres been a few digs over the years all around the old base . 80 % of it has been dug up and turned into fields now though which is a real shame .
A good friend of mine organises alot of the base digs all around the country using all the Geofizz gear , hes even been on Time Team a couple of times . Now hes found plenty of interesting stuff over the years .
The Liberator was obviously cleared after the crash happened but im sure if someone really wanted to they would still find bits and pieces of the plane and other stuff .
Id be abit more concerned about digging on the base itself as you never know what buried Ordnance you might find by mistake

Back in the 70's,I would be about 15 at the time,I used to coarse fish a small lake near Ridgeway in Sheffield called Lower Skelper,a lovely little two acre lake right down in a secluded wooded valley where you usually saw nobody else all day.
My dad used to drop me off on his way to work and pick me up on the way home and I would fish all day on my own.
One day I had been fishing a few hours and caught a big roach of around 1.5 pounds and by far the best fish I had caught at the time. Into the keep net it went and I fished on.
Soon after I started to feel a bit uneasy and as if I was being watched,the feeling got worse and worse until I couldn't stay any longer as I was getting pretty scared.
Something or somebody was watching me,I just knew it.
I packed my gear but really wanted my dad to see the big roach,so I left my keep net in the water and quickly walked the half mile up the lane to the phone box at the top and rang my dad to ask him to come and pick me up as soon as he could.
He wasn't best pleased but an hour later he arrived wanting to know why his normally fishing mad son wanted to pack up early for the first time ever.
I told him why and we both went down the lane to the lake with him pulling my leg about being a big girls blouse.
When we got to my swim however there was no roach to be seen,the bank stick had been pulled out and my now dry keep net was laid out on the bank side !
I looked at my dad,he looked at me and neither of us knew what to say.
To this day I still don't know if my dad believed I caught that fish,he never said,but he knew wild horses wouldn't have made me pack up early without a very good reason.
They say you can feel when you are being watched.......I did that day,because whoever was watching me must have taken my net out and released that roach !!!!!!

F***** weird that one mate, would make me not want to fish that again just because of the sheer weirdness of it, that someone is just watching you and waiting for you to go, crazy.

I hate to think mate,but I'm glad I didn't hang around to find out !
Never did fish that lake again.
I always wondered why whoever it was left my keep net on the bank and didn't nick it,I guess whoever it was wasn't an angler.
