Re: Luftwaffe raids on South Coast March - May 1944
Peter & Nick,

Thanks for the info especially the details of the raid on 14/15th May 1944 as this ties in nicely with the very date that this 500 Kg bomb was probably dropped. It fell just yards from the HQ of the 405th FG in Mudeford, Christchurch only to be discovered in May 2006, when a home owner was digging up his patio!

Presumably this bomb could have been dropped by any of the aircraft types involved, whether single or multi engined.
