Countryfile comes from Devon on Sunday (21 September) where Matt Baker discovers the story of a Second World War bomber which crashed on the moor and hears about one man's mission to find the truth behind what happened on that fateful night. 

Matt helps with a geophysics search of the site to see if the key to the crash can be unearthed. The continued research into the crash site is just one of the projects being funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund as part of the Moor than meets the eye project on Dartmoor

He also meets with a farmers' co-op in Dartmoor, where 50 farmers work together and takes to horseback to help them with a cattle round-up. The Haytor area where filming took place is part of the new Dartmoor Farming Futures project which is developing a new approach to agri-environment delivery.

Watch Countryfile on Sunday 21 September  at 7pm on BBC One.
