V1 Landing Sites England, looking for resource…

… are there any resources which detail every V1 Bomb landing in England.
I’m trying to find a V1 UXB which supposedly landed on Blackwater station and was defused.
Thanks.

There are a lot of files at the National Archives, there should somewhere in there be summaries of missiles coming to earth.

Hi All,
Any help ? :- https://www.1stlinedefence.co.uk/ser…SAAEgJh5vD_BwE They may hold archives that record V1 sites. Also http://www.flyingbombsandrockets.com/stats_summary.html

Here’s some photo’s taken in France by the 9th Air Force, of a VI that made a perfect landing,presumably fired at the Allied forces.

There is a book that details every single place that V1’s came down, plus all the history of them, etc. It is called “Doodlebugs and Rockets – The Battle of the Flying Bombs” by Bob Ogley (Froglets Publications, 1992)

The ‘Kent Messanger’ did publish a map showing the ‘fate’ of each V1 whether in Kent or off the coast marked with a black dot. I did have one but not at home currently.

Landing in the same sentence as V1 is an interesting term!
