Very many thanks, and apols for late reply due to travel.

Yes, Horsa does ring a bell, not certain why.

Appreciate the Spitfire details, but strange that the records mixup Church Crookham with Fleet. The fuselage came down in Aldershot Road next to a stream that feeds into the canal, the tail scared the occupants of a house in Regent Street. Pity cameras weren't a la mode in those days. I wonder what the other aircraft in the formation were, and what they were doing on a Sunday!

Great lead anyway, and I'll follow up on it. Even got Fleet's historian interested.
