The two Bf109E4/B W.nr.4853 wings are from 2/JG51 flown by Lt.Eric Meyer ditched in the Channel off Hythe Kent on October 7th at 13.58hrs after being attacked by Hurricanes of 501 Squadron over Maidstone.The aircraft was lifted from sea bed in July 1976 as a joint project by Channel Divers and the Brenzett Aeronautical Museum.
This “airfield” (feldflugplatz) had no fixed buildings,aircraft were parked under trees on the edge around the field,
a large farm nearby provided accommodation,I presume.
