Imber Friendly Fire Killing
A little known friendly fire incident took place on the 13 April 1942 at Imber during World War II. A RAF Hawker Hurricane taking part in a firepower demonstration in training for one to be attended by Winston Churchill accidentally opened fire on a crowd of spectators, killing 25 and wounding 71. Pilot error and bad weather were blamed for the incident, the pilot himself was shot down over France just a few months later.
Anybody have any more details?
