Ju88 from 4./LG1 shot down 15 Aug 1940

Gents,

Can anybody tell me any details about the exact location of where this aircraft landed:

15-08-40 L1+BM Ju88 from 4/LG1 shot down by 601Sq, forced landing nr Twyford.

I'm trying to confirm local newspaper reports from the time that claim this aircraft and another (probably this one):

5./ZG76 Messerschmitt Bf110C-4. Believed that shot down by F/L R.A. Barton (and probably also P/O J.R.B. Meaker) of No.249 Squadron during close-escort sortie to Worthy Down and Middle Wallop that crashed and exploded alongside the Farley Road at Slackstead 5.50 p.m. Also claimed by F/L J.H.G. McArthur of No.609 Squadron. FF Oberlt Gerhard Bremer and BF Uffz Leo Pauli both missing. Aircraft 100% write-off.

crashed within a quarter of a mile of each other. If anybody is able to give me more info on the the exact locations of the crashes and the details of the Ju88 crew who I believe were all captured.

Bjorn
