Remains of a German Heinkel, wrecked during WW II. The aircraft was attacked by two British Hurricanes on 17.01.1974. The pilot, Lieutenant Karl Heinz Thurz, was forced to land here in Fair Isle. The plane ploughed through a stone wall and caught fire. Two of the five crewmen were found dead, the three surviving were held and picked up by Lerwick lifeboat several days later.
