The one which cruised around after the crew had departed managed to come to earth in THREE counties!! It, apparently crashed on the boundaries of Wiltshire, Gloucestershire and Oxfordshire. My brother was one of the many RAF tasked with crash-guarding the remains.
In those days they were frequent visitors to the UK - "four burning, six turning" and their instantly recognisable engine noise indicated their passage even above cloud.
