Captured Fighter Pilot March '41
I'm researching my father's history during the war and am followng up a story told about his service with the Home Guard. Apparently whilst serving he was present when a German fighter pilot was downed and captured by the local Home Guard. Date March 1941, area Ockley Surrey, whilst waiting for the young man to be collected by the powers that be everyone was offered a cup of tea by the local farmer's wife except the pilot - Dad ( a pilot himself) insisted that he be offered one also upsetting the rest of the Guard! Question - can anyone verify the loss of a fighter over Surrey at that time. Any details/information would be appreciated.
Thanks Rick |
