I read that the German fighter-bomber pioneer, Hauptmann Walter Rubensdörffer, was killed on the 15th August 1940 leading an attack on Kenley when he mistook either Biggin or Croydon for the target, thus also failing to spot 111 Sqn RAF who had just scrambled in response to observer reports of his gaggle of Me 110s following the railway from Brighton towards their base.
