PEARSON FARM: Balloon landing site
 

NOTES: The info regarding this site came from an AAIB report, EW/G2011/08/17. The landing here of the Cameron Z-275 hot air balloon G-CBZZ did not go smoothly. The reason for including this site is simply to illustrate that this 'Guide' seeks to give examples of flying sites in the broadest possible terms. To this end a few examples of crash sites and forced landing sites are provided. It also goes to prove my opinion that; “Nigh on every effing field in England at least, seems to have an aviation connection.”

An exaggeration to prove a point of course. I very much doubt anybody will ever determine even a rough number? It is definitely in the tens of thousands. Think about it, apart from enemy aircraft shot down in WW2, forced landings, crash sites etc - we also have gliders and hang-gliders landing out, balloons landing all over the shop, and of course helicopters, especially those serving emergency and military duties. The list seems endless?
