Bf109E crash (Downe Golf Course) Biggin Hill
Hello all
I wonder if anyone could help identify a Bf109E that came down on Downe Golf Course near Biggin Hill during the Battle of Britain. I’ve drawn a blank so far and would appreciate any help. I think the course in question may be the West Kent Golf Course at Downe rather than Downe Golf Course, if that helps. Thank you in advance |

Without something more specific (crash or crash landing might help), this is hard to pin down but thanks to Frans post:
Rath was an Oblt with 4./JG 54 not JG 53 and came down at Chelsham Ziegler was a Lt and came down at Addington My late friend Heinrich Höhnisch came down at Old Jail Inn, Biggin Hill Haase came down at Norheads Farm, Biggin Hill Stronk came down at Sutherland Avenue, Biggin Hill |
