Info wanted on Bf109E crash in Surrey 1940
Hi all
I am looking for any information regarding this crash as I live very close to the site. Date: 30-09-1940 Pilot: Gustav Strasser of 6/JG 52 Plane: Bf109 E-1 Werk No.3192 Crash site: Tadworth, Surrey. Pilot bailed out over Dorking, injured but survived. Eye witness reported plane crashed into base of tree and caught fire, yellow engine cowel with large eagle painted on it. Below is the eagle I think the witness is describing but not completely sure.  Any further info welcomed in particular any pictures showing this eagle on cowel (So far I have only found one photo, Page 38 Bf109 a comprehensive guide for the modeller by Lynn Ritger). Regards Drew
