RB-66 Crashes, information required.

Back in the 1970s, there were some quite hefty chunks of airframe scattered across the farmland.

I bet that they aren’t there now! 😀 :rolleyes:
I should be investigating this one in the next couple of months…

Incidentally, looking at my records, I see that a V-1 came down at Glebe Farm, Skeffington, on 18 December 1944. It was air-launched from a He.III of KG76.

Skeffington, not ham. Back in the 1970s, there were some quite hefty chunks of airframe scattered across the farmland. I would guess that it was descending on a radar talkdown and had a wrongly set altimeter. The site is almost in line with Bruntingthorpe’s south-westerly runway, about six miles out.
