I wonder whether any British pilots ever landed accidentally on the wrong side of the channel as I gather one German pilot did after confusing the Bristol channel with the English channel?
Germans did, according to the R.V. Jones book. The plane was guarded to be retrieved for study. Unfortunately the guards were told "No one touches it!" and stopped everyone from rescuing it from the rising tide....
