I know its not the area your looking for but still of intrest.
This map depicts the V1’s that came down in and arround the Southend Aera, not often on public view but it is at present for a limited time along with another depicting all the known locations of where bombs fell in Southend, also on show for a limited time is a small piece of a HE111 bought down over Southend and a numbe rof other artifacts photos and documents.
It isat Weston Super Mare it was on display in 2004 when i was there, think its in the building leading to the main hall.
fantastic little museum well worth the visit,
After a bit of pestering I finaly recived the last two photos of XB261’s last flight.
I am waiting for one more photo taken over head the museum some years after it closed with the Beverley all on her own.
Thought you all might be intrested in the very rare photo.
Blackburn Beverley XB261 making her last landing at Southend Airport on Thursday 8th October 1971, note the now home of Vulan XL426 (top right corner) in use as a coach park and the very rare Mushroom pillbox (bottom left corner) on the otherside of the tracks at the end of the runway.
