The lone runner appears from the mist, checking his map and pausing for a moment to contemplate the weathered remains of the wrecked aircraft.

The B-29 superfortress "Overexposed" crashed into the moors of Bleaklow (at Higher Shelf Stones) in November 1948: all the crew members perished.

There is a stark and poignant beauty to the wreck, scattered over the peaty moorland of the Dark Peak, where the unforgiving conditions can lead to over-exposure of another kind.
