Re: 21st April 1941 raid on Newark on Trent ( maybe )

Yes that's the one , they often used the Great North Road as a visual reference to line up with RAF Balderton as it ran North to South. That Hampden was approaching from the North when it clipped tall trees at what is now the Newark Academy School ( aka The Grove School when I was there ) and cartwheeled across the road.
