A “twin engined” bomber came down a mile or so Southwest of Southend pier on Monday 3rd February 1941, however it being a mile from the pier would put it slap bang in the middle of the deep water channel so the chances of it being this one are slim as the recovery of an engine would be more or less imposible.

The number of aircraft that came down in the Thames Estuary is quite high from Spitfires & Hurricane to Bf109,s to 110’s and He111’s even a Boston or two!
