Good evening, I am doing some research and with the aid of Google I find my self posting on this forum as a new member for the first time.

I live in Melbourne Derbyshire and am researching the bombing of our village back in 1940, 11th July to be exact. My grandad has a great account of the plane coming into the village as he was out in the fields returning from checking his fishing lines. Also on my dads side my grandma was at work in Derby when the air raid sirens went and leaving her army uniform making factory she also witnessed the plane fly over head on completion of the bombing. Both witnessed this plane so low grandad said he could of hit it with his catapult and could see the pilot.

So I was wondering if this could of been the same plane. I'm not so sure as the Melbourne bombs (8 in total) were dropped at 7.55am.

I've just purchased a book about this and it has some good accounts of the raid.

Any help would be much appreciated
