Crash Wittering Woods sometime 1950s/60s
Hello, I can't find anything on Google about this, so wonder if anyone here can help.
As a child I used to visit family in Wittering village during the 1970s. From their back window which faced what I called Wittering Woods, you could see a clearing in the tree line where i was told a jet crashed sometime before I was born.
I have a memory of being out walking and shown a clearing in woodland where the accident happened.
Bear in mind I was very small at the time, and my unlce who told me about it has been dead many years.
The only crash I can find is a Valiant in 1960 at a disused air strip near Harrington. Its the right direction, but Google suggests it didn't crash into woodland. I have had a look at Google earth and if there is evidence of a crash there, I can't see it. Looks like the airfield was turned back to agriculture.
What I do remember was a gap in the tree line and a clearing. Is it my mind playing tricks perhaps?
Does anyone have info on the Wittering Woods crash?
