Dornier 17-Z, Goodwin Sands, 26 August 1940

[Andy Saunders]

Might I simply draw attention to the initial report in The Times which stated, inter-alia, that items including the weaponry had been removed by unauthorised divers. That statement, presumably originating with the RAF Museum, was evidently a statement of fact. It also pre-dated any discussion here or anywhere else about these items or where they went to.

I have no animosity (although Mr Brocklehurst seems to think it is "well known") towards the Kent Battle of Britain Museum and aside from wishing to make that point clear I have no interest or intentions of being "baited" or drawn into discussion on the question of the items reported as "plundered" by The Times either here or by PM.


Peter Evans - I would suggest, with respect, that your desire to "hear both sides of the argument" are unlikely to materialise!
