Apologies for the slight thread drift but the local news media in Kent have today been marking the anniversary of an interesting Battle of Britain story - The Battle of Graveney Marsh is said to be the last action involving a foreign invading force on British soil.
On 27th September 1940 a Junkers 88 was forced down and the crew used their weapons to try to stop the aircraft, and its new type of bombsight, being inspected before they could destroy it.
After surrendering they were taken to the nearby Sportsman Inn at Seasalter where a plaque commemorating the event has just been unveiled.
A George Medal was awarded to Captain Cantopher who disarmed the demolition charge set on the aircraft.
