Thanks Peter, prompt as ever! I believe the newspaper article I have found in the Hampshire Chronicle from the 24th August makes reference to the first two Ju88s you mention. It says they were shot down by spitfires on the previous Thursday (15th). One exploded and crashed and the other belly landed nearby after three of the crew had bailed out. The farmer who apprehended the pilot of the Ju88 which belly landed said when interviewed by the paper that the German had seemed calm and unconcerned to be taken prisoner. Apparently he commented to the farmer over a cup of tea in broken English "Spits too hot!". The German crew were reported to have been rounded up by the Home Guard. On being asked if there were bombs in the aircraft the pilot said he had dumped them on a railway. The aircraft landed in two fields no more than 1/4 mile apart. A red cross lady stood with a collection box at the entrance to the fields to take advantage of the many sightseers. Makes for quiet interesting if somewhat sensationalised reading!
