Hi Julian

I'll certainly have a look at your book - Currently I have two problems, one, trying to find out where exactly my Mum (and Aunt) were staying, and the other to find out exactly where the crash was. I want to know just exactly how narrow the miss was!

I don't think that they were at Caxton Gibbitt, that's too far, they say the crash was at the bottom of the garden in Dry Drayton! The Stirling in question was N6012 which was apparently shot up and came in to land too low. All the crew died eventually. Interestingly Dry Drayton is lined up with one of the runways at Oakington.

The same crew just ten days before were (apparently) attacked as they tried to land in N6009, they (apparently) were misled by a nearby Q-Site at Stambourne (are Q-Sites in your book?) and crashed there - the nightfighter (apparently) dropped bombs on them but missed!

But while lots of help is coming in, nothing is yet comfirmed eitherway!


Thanks
James
