Wimberry Stones is a rock feature known locally as " Indian 's Head " overlooking the reservoir . It was the site of a fatal aeroplane crash in 1949 . Investigating detectives surmised the man may have been Stephen Evans , a survivor of the crash but it was discounted after the BBC worked out , based on the 1949 report and the police statement , that he worked at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine and contacted him . He then contacted Greater Manchester Police to confirm he was still alive
