Apologies for resurrecting an old thread but as a Frensham local I'm looking for info on a couple of Vampire crashes in the Frensham, Surrey, area.

The aircraft in question were Vampire F3 VT873, which crashed 1m south of Frensham on Dec 21 1948, and Vampire T11 XD539 which crashed on Nov 3, 1955, between the King's Ridge and the Little Pond (now called 'Vampire Flats').

With the massive fire on the common last year this cleared the scrub on Vampire Flats and I was hoping to see if any trace of the crash sites remain. Any info on grid references or contemporary photos would be very much appreciated

I'm more than happy to post photos of the sites on here if I can identify them and in the unlikely event anyone else is interested!

Many thanks,

WF
