Just as a matter of interest, there is the wreck of what I think is a Lancaster, near Talybont at GR SO 062 200 (map 160). Its been a few years now, so I am a bit vague on the details, but apparently they were using the reservoir to practise for the dam busters raid.

There is a memorial there now, and the plaque tells the story.
