Aviation archaeological research is an on-going process and no fewer than four additional WWII crashes on Skye have come to light via the Internet. They are:

Unconfirmed data suggests that the Spitfire crashed on Beinn Nan Cuthean near the "Big House", north west Skye. The crash location itself is a mystery, so if anyone has any information on this or any other crash site we'd be very pleased to hear from them.

Serving with No. 8 OTU (Operational Training Unit) at RAF Dyce, the pilot who was killed is named as J.E.Mosley, tag number 1467449. This aircraft held the "Presentation Spitfire" name `SHERWOOD FORESTER`. The Presentation Spitfire scheme appealed directly to the patriotism of commercial companies, wealthy families, communities and any other groups of people who could stump up £5,000 or so to pay for the construction of what was undoubtedly the RAF's sexiest fighter. The true cost was around £12,000.
