    Landfall Ireland by Donal MacCarron has details of crashes and crash landings in Ireland during WWII. A little piece that may relate to what you're after :

    11th October 1941 : Heinkel He IIIH-6 "F8+ER" VII/KG40. Shot down and crashed at Rock Mountain, Kiltealy, Co Wexford. All killed.

    My old man used to go down to Kiltealy (his grandmother's family lived there) when he was a boy and got a bit from this wreck shortly after it came down.

    There's a thread at

    http://www.panzergrenadier.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=53&t=7045

    that lists the crew as :

    Kurt Tiggemann, Wilhelm Böhmer, Ehrfried Kolwe, and Hans Szuflita.

    Thanks for all the suggestions guys. I'm looking for the site, from speaking to a couple of the locals there are 4 craters where the bombs exploded and a small stone cross that marks the location. I've walked up the blackstairs a few times but still havent come across it!
