Re: Pilot who shot-down V1 in Kent
Well that could be me... If you are familiar with the format of "Diverx3" then you may know that Brian Cull does not tend to tie up events on the ground with events in the air. So he records several incidents on the ground which involved numbers of casualties including that at Newlands Stud Farm "at 0618" without linking to claims/credits to individual pilots. In my experience the information available from RAF records on anti-Diver work is usually not very detailed/specific. Details of 11 Divers are listed by BC: 3 given as "Channel"; 3 "Eastbourne area" and 3 "Hastings area" which I assume are unlikely to fit. F/L I StC Watson of 165Sqn in Spitfire SKS/MK811 is credited with a Diver in the Biggin Hill area at 0625 and F/L H D Johnson of 91Sqn in Spitfire DLK/RB188 at 0650 in the Hawkhurst area.
