Re: An Me.108 that crash landed at RAF Stn. FORD.

Hi Stephen,

From The Blitz Then and Now Volume 3, Winston Ramsey, page 295:

September 11
Geschwader Stab/KG40
Messerschmitt Bf.108B-1 (2014). Either flown by defectors or became lost while on an internal flight. Intercepted by a Mosquito which panicked the pilot who crashed attempting a belly landing with undercarriage up at Ford Airfield 4.55 pm. Uffz J. Suppinger killed. Uffz V. Packer taken prisoner injured. Aircraft F8+CA wrecked.

Curious event, though!

Regards,
Hans Nauta
