Ok.. I have just started a new thread “My Life in Aviation” Lt/Capt Alan Lane, with an audio download link. It was a 45 minute talk Dad recorded in his eighties just before he passed away, and described the Manston incident, amongst many others.

I do stand thoroughly corrected though, the Manston RAF Officers response was nothing like I described it, my recollection was 43 odd years old, and the cassette, to clarify has come to light only in the last few months.
