1940 - Who, what, where and when?

[Andy Saunders]

Many years ago a national newspaper in the UK carried a story about a roll of Agfa film that a souvenir hunter had taken from the cockpit of an Me 109 shot down "near Lewes" during the Battle of Britain.

I managed to contact the owner of the film, who had only just had the pictures developed then (1970s) and obtained prints. Here are some of them, which seem to show some event or other in 1940. The question is what and where? And when? As to who...some are obvious, but I'd appreciate help in adding in any names.

The mystery as to which Me 109 this could have been endures, but perhaps 12/8/40 (Berwick) or 15/9/40 (Isfield). The 11/9/40 (Lewes) or 27/9/40 (Selmeston) seem less likely.

Here are a few of the images.
