The 1970s / 1980s series of Action Stations books is a nine volume set that gives information about all the UK's WW2 airfields. In one of the volumes it described the crash of a bomber on return to its base, hitting a wood a couple of miles short of the airfield. I had an OS map and found the likely wood, went there and found pieces of wreckage in the edge of the wood. In 1989 two Tornados clipped each other over Northumberland and one crashed close to the A68. I was passing by a few weeks later and although there had been a quite thorough tidy-up I found what appeared to be an accelerometer, something a little smaller than a pack of ten cigarettes.
Hi Ammotechxt,
bit of a long shot,if you have the above volumes,is there any mention of Middle Wallop airfield in Hampshire and a German aircraft coming down near the airfield at the back of Danebury Ring?
Been on the trail of one there for years now and each year the ground gives up a few clues,a few years ago burst 20mm cannon shells were surfacing.
Hello Tony,
Just found your post. Middle Wallop appears in Vol 5 - Military airfields of the South-West. There is no mention of German aircraft shot down or crashing near the airfield or Danebury Ring. Will (Glevum) posted interesting info. 234 Squadron tallies with the info in Vol 5 but there is very little specific info and nothing of what you seek.
