Re: Plea for help from the Channel Islands
Thanks for your comments which I will pass back to the family.
Whilst I am fully aware of the problems with this kind of oral testimony, his other descriptions of aerial activity in the week leading up to VE Day - solo Spits flying over the island and the arrival of the RAF on the 9th - tie in with known or published accounts of those sightings so I have no reason at this stage to doubt his account (other than your comments above). Like many boys of the war identifying aircraft was something of a hobby taken seriously. He was with a friend who saw what he saw, so this appears to be no solo memory distorted through the mists of time.
What German aircraft were at St Peter's, Jersey in May 1945?
