Dear Alllegs,
Not sure if previous two messages got through to you, as I am a novice to Rootschat. So for the third time here goes. 1. I suggest you obtain a copy of The Hardest Day (18th August 1940) by Alfred Price ISBN 0 354 0121 93 and check on page 118. The corporal was my late Father. 2. A front page photo and report appeared in the now defunct "The Morning Post" (incorporated into the now "Daily Telegraph" of the dead German WO covered in a parachute on Ham Golf Club surrounded by onlookers. My Father had an original copy and loaned it to a local museum. On later inspection, the curator denied all knowledge of it. 3. My younger Brother has a filler cap of the shotdown JU87, which my Father claimed as a trophy. Good luck
