German Messerschmitt crashed in Easthampstead during World War Two ?

Did this happen or was it an urban myth ? In Easthampstead Bracknell, Berkshire ( RG12 7 ) , the story is that a German Messerschmitt crashed at Easthampstead during World War Two, but no-one has any details of the incident.
I am aware of the Junker JU88 bomber which dropped a stick of bombs down the main drive of Easthampstead Park Mansion in October 1940 , this JU88 was brought down near Guildford a few minutes later ... But don't know if this was the same incident.
Also we have researched the two crashes involving British planes in the area but have drawn a blank on the German one. Is anyone able to supply any information or point me in the right direction for further research please? Or is this an urban myth , red herring ? Thank you TFC.
