Beagle and JW411,
I can confirm the position of EI-AFL as we stumbled across it on a trek through the glorious Welsh hills back in 1973. Approximately 2 clicks east of Llyn Gwynant in very boggy terrain.
A few weeks later we stumbled across a small, twisted yellow plate in Craig Cwn Silyn which we subsequently found to be part of a Henley. I presume it is still there.
I did have some slides of these but they are probably in a black hole in the attic.

Righto Dr I. I'm up for this jaunt on the 20th.
While we are at it I could show you a couple of my 'crash' sites!
There's no wreckage, 'cos in a Hang-glider one tends to pick up the bits and walk away head bowed!!!! Better still get someone else to pick up the bits

JW 411 - oops, the perils of cut-and-paste from foreign websites!

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.
