Woodley Airfield,Berkshire
A bit of a long shot BUT.
There was at least one Luftwaffe attack on Woodley in about 1940/41. I was at school near the airfield. There was also an incendiary raid on some woods in Woodley. Does anyone have any details of these incidents?

Re: Woodley Airfield,Berkshire
Many thanks for that Andy.
We watched one machine gun attack,I think on a Sunday morning,from Crockhamwell Road. The a/c flew parallel to Loddon Bridge Road towards the airfield from the Wokingham Road area. There were no hits on Crockhamwell Road. I think the a/c was an Me 109. Any details of the Unit involved?
