Twisted Wrack des B‑24H Liberator Sleepy Time Gal in den Fairy Lochs bei Gairloch, der Absturzstelle des Zweiten Weltkriegs, wo das Flugzeug am 13. Juni 1945 abstürzte.
WW2 plane crash debris visible centre right below the cliffs. The Fairy Lochs near Gairloch in the northwest Highlands mark the remote crash site of B‑24H Liberator Sleepy Time Gal (42‑95095), which struck the hillside on 13 June 1945 while returning to the United States from Prestwick. The scattered wreckage remains where it fell, protected as a war grave, with twisted aluminium panels, two engines lying in the heather, and further debris resting in the loch below. In the clear water, a propeller still rises upright, and fragments of stainless steel retain a surprising shine after decades of exposure. Even sections of rubber and wiring remain preserved in the peat‑rich environment, creating a poignant, historically significant landscape that attracts respectful visitors, hikers, and aviation historians.
