Photographer Nicholas Holt captures tragedy and remembrance as he documents fallen RAF sites for his project Fallen
The bleak moorlands and eerie forests of Dark Peak in Derbyshire host some 50 or so crash sites of Royal Air Force and other planes. Behind each collection of scattered wreckage lies a human story of tragedy – and the odd lucky escape – of aircrews returning from missions or on training flights. Even the most remote sites are commemorated in some way – a wooden cross, a poppy wired to a wing, a plaque, a flag. Peak District-based photographer Nicholas Holt has documented many of these sites for his project Fallen.
