Thanks chaps for taking the trouble to in part explain things better.

I've already discovered an anomaly in regards to Cebrzynski's Spitfire, which a little bit of 'ironing' of the facts could prove interesting.

In ernest I need to collect information from 'across the board' and will in time get across to Maidstone Archives too.

RAF records at Kew are great, generally accurate too. I've found local knowledge to be frequently (not exclusively) accurate, sometimes even humourous if a little 'reshuffled' with age, soon to be lost forever!

But as most of the sites reveal themselves to be of BoB vintage, very little is now left either of what passed before, by way of the weekend groups of excavators, and I'm finding it impossibly hard to locate who these people were, and in which corner of the World their earlier research findings have ended up in? Or where or how I might accost them in my quest to extract the truth.

I could bury myself deep in researching one crash site or alternatively in order to produce a bigger picture, I have had to scrape the barrel perhaps with whatever kind of methodology that is within my grasp. Remember this is Kent! the County which witnessed perhaps more arial actions during the BoB, than any other County only then to throw away at least part of the evidence
