Old River Don, Crowle, Lincolnshire Knockshinnoch, Rankinston, East Ayrshire Langthwaite, Millom, Cumbria Controversies REG Windpower has attracted criticism over their selection of some of their development sites. Old River Don wind farm - the site chosen for 6 turbines was the site of two World War II graves. A Lancaster bomber crashed in September 1945 and two Australian airmen were never found. The location of one of the turbines was to be close to where the crash site was believed to be. Knockshinnoch Wind Farm - East Ayrshire Council Planning Committee granted consent for the site on 30 January 2015
