Reportly took place on the 9th August. Manston was the nearest Fighter Command to the Luftwaffe and was attacked again and again. On this day Me 110s strafed and Do17 bombed dropping some 150 high explosive and fragmentation bombs sending a mushroom cloud of debris thousands of feet high and lead to some ground crew to refuse to come out of their shelters.
No idea if this lead to any disciplinary action..
