Re: Ju88 crash Bethersden Kent Werk No 4347 (interesting Story) info help please

Looking into or trying to possibly piece it together,going by what information that Melvin has given me,and the information that came with the relic board that i have, it states that the Ju88 Werk no 4347 was shot down by 29 Squadron and crashed Bull lane Bethersden Kent.that's where it states that one of the crew who we now no to be Uffz Karl Losch, had possibly escaped in a fire chiefs car in which he managed to get as far as Leeds in Kent before it ran out of fuel.where he was then captured.

So if the above info is true then he managed to get a fair way as looking on Google maps that is a fair journey i would say around some 9 miles and being local to this area the roads are still of a narrow type typically desolate.

There is also a chance that he may of gone very close to the Headcorn aerodrome (Lashenden ) of which was used during WW2.

Like i say it would be great to confirm his escape.
