Hi…A bit late but I read this thread with interest as I have been researching a CWGC grave in Littlehampton Cemetery regarding an incident between 2 Spitfires of 602 Sqdn and a Ju88 which crashed off Bognor on 19th August 1940.

It’s also possibly that this same Ju88 jettisoned it’s bombs over Selsey killing 3/4 civilians ?

A Spitfire was shot down during this action, but it now appears that this aircraft also crashed south of Bognor.

While searching for information, it appears another Spitfire crashed near Selsey on the very same day.

Wade crash landed a Spitfire I (R6703) near Selsey after being shot down in combat over the Solent on August 19th 1940. His Spitfire I exploded but he escaped injury.

Could this be the one in question…?

Cheers
