Fern Lane Ju88 crash
Have just got my used/good condition copy of "War Prizes" via Amazon (thanks for the lead, Kieron) - looks brilliant and, on Page 84, there's some more information on the aircraft. It was delivered from Schleswig, Germany to CFE West Raynham, on 25 September 1945, by Flight Lieutenant D.G.M. Gough. When it crashed at Heston, on 15 October 1945 (so CFE only had it for 20 days), it was inbound from a trip to Germany, collecting spares for an Me 262 also operated by CFE. Why Heston? Customs clearance? Crash pilot not confirmed but I'll see if Flt Lt Gough crops up anywhere else in the book, perhaps confirming that he was Canadian, for example - at least we now know the mission the aircraft was on. The crash photograph, on Page 85, is very much clearer than the scanned copy we've previously seen here, ex the web, but it still doesn't show the baby sleeping inside the house, who we now know about, and have recently heard from!
