Firstly, I saw you had posted and thought, "oh no, here comes another warning to cool it and another thread ban"
Secondly, I have posted about it on here before because a couple of people corrected me and said it couldn't have been a Stuka.
Re the incident, I can get my mother to ask her sister / my aunt what year.
I can tell you that I think they were walking up the street they live in and the German flew over the Ack Ack gun which was on the grassed area at the end of the street as my grand mother received a phone call to say "We got him for you".
To be confirmed but I think the street they lived in was Upfield St, off Addiscombe Road, Croydon. The surname of Granter. I think the house that collected the bomb behind / near them was in Fitzjames Avenue. I think the gun was located on the Shirley Park Golf course.
Now that is from memory so let me check the details !!!
BTW, in case any of you were wondering, the bullets went either side of my grand mother and her daughter and neither were injured (my grand mother hit the deck on top of her daughter) but she remembers looking and seeing the pilots face he was that low
