    Hi Northeagle,, My info came from the press report on the NE Diaries site
    and clearly gives a full acount of the the incident,,and states that 43 sqd
    was operating out of Acklington,,names the RAF Pilot as Flt lt townsend
    and then also names the german crew,,and yes the german aircarft made a forced landing 2 miles north of whitby,

    also the other ref to the heinkle is on the same page,,North east diaries
    section for Amble,,

    shot down by Aircarft from 43 Sqd out of Ackilington,,all 3 bodies recovered and have been laid to rst in Chevington church yard,,

    ACKLINGTON,,, agin info from the Diaries

    Lindys lad will get the list soon..and post it no problem,,

    If an air craft crashed near warkworth beach it would have been big news and
    maybe a link can be found in the WW2 North East Diaries site which can be searched by town or village.I am sure you are aware of this site i cant get enough of it,,I was amazed to see that Amble and hauxley and many manymore towns and villages around had been attacked and even lists the casulaty on one occasion from Air Craft that straffed Amble and Hauxley Pit

    stobs wood for an ex RAF Service man,, John Burns who was stationed at Amble Rescue Station 51-52 then moved over to Blyth

    that was an L SHAPED building which was the cookhouse,rec room and
    billit combination,,sadly he has no photos but intends to make a list
