Hi everyone, I am currently writing a book (nearly finished now) on Hertfordshires association with aviation. It covers WW1 Zeppelins etc, interwar years to 1945. A special section is dedicated to the German aeroplanes that fell in Herts from 1940-1941. I have been researching these for over 25 years and have contacted several former crew members. However one incident that I am particularly keen to obtain more details on is the crash of a KG55 Heinkel 111 at Hunsdon. This came down after being attacked by Hurricanes of 601 Squadron (one of the attackers was Willi Rhodes Moorhouse) and although it landed quite well caught fire. The crash site was later developed into Hunsdon aerodrome so as far as I can gather no small fragments of once molten alloy are metal detectable. Does anyone know of any photographs that were taken and are still available of this Heinkel, possibly in ex Hunsdon servicemens albums, and secondly does anyone know exactly where the Heinkel came down. I would like to hear from anyone with info on this incident and can be contacted via this forum or on [email]j.evenhart@ntlworld.com[/email]
Kind regards Julian

Very interesting, Julian
