Rick,

Many thanks for your efforts. It remains a mystery !

The extract from the plan I posted earlier (the plan itself is on display at the Dorking Museum) is generally regarded as being very accurate. The other two crash sites indicated are :

137 = Hurricane I (V6783) which was shot down by an Me109 at 14:30hrs on 22nd October 1940. The pilot was F/O John Archibald Milne a Canadian serving with 605 Squadron. Milne managed to crash land his damaged aircraft but suffered a broken hip. Returning to active service, he was promoted Sqn Ldr 21st May 1942 and survived the war.

144 = Hudson IIIA (FK763) coded MA-P of 161 Squadron which crashed on 11/12th April 1945. I believe the aircraft was returning from a Special Duties Operation when it suffered engine failure. The crew members all parachuted to safety although the pilot F/Lt D B Webb suffered a broken foot.

I am not sure if this is Denis Buckley Webb who was awarded the DFC for service with 161 Squadron (Gazetted 14th September 1945).

Any additional information from other Forum members would be most welcome.
