Cliffs of Magho

The NNW-facing cliffs overlook the western reaches of Lower Lough Erne and define the northern edge of Lough Navar Forest, a major plantation managed by the Forest Service of Northern Ireland.

201 Squadron RAF was operating a training flight, practicing takeoffs and landings on Lough Erne.

During one takeoff the aircraft overshot flare path, and shortly after the left wing struck the lough.

The pilots lost control of the aircraft & crashed into Cliffs of Magho, bursting into flames on impact.

[2] Since 2007 these cliffs have formed a part of the Marble Arch Caves Global Geopark.
