Chris
My Brother used to work at RAF Colerne (in a civil role)during the period covering the crash of TG615 - he is now blind but has "read" your note. He tells me that the crash actually occurred just across the road south of the Airfield alongside the road to Bath in a field which is also skirted by a laneway to the village of Ditteridge near Box but from what I know of the site there is no stream there but from the fragmented picture in the webshot of the aircraft it does give the impression that a stream is nearby but that's a twisted piece of sheet metal from the sticken Hastings in question.
This should pinpoint the site for you!
Roy
