Was not this the crash that inspired the wartime song 'Run Rabbit Run Run Run' when a dead rabbit was found under the wreck. There is a photo of the B Ltn Rolf Niehoff standing with a police officer despite having severe back injuries needing four months in Woolwich Hospital. Niehoff later served in the Bundes Luftwaffe becoming a Major ( this was in After The Battle magazine issue 42 if my notes are right). One other thing many years ago in the Exchange and Mart Magazine (the old E-Bay) Niehoff's flying suit was on sale for something like £5, which I could'nt afford it at the time, I think the suit subsequently appeared in a museum.
