Kings Sombourne Memorial

[hydealfred]

This memorial is located next to a Hampshire By-way and remembers the crew of a Ju 88 crew (I/KG54) shot down during the Battle Of Britain. The memorial is located some two miles away from the aircraft crash site and is incorrectly dated as the aircraft was shot down on 21 August 1940. Spitfires of 234 Squadron from Middle Wallop made the interception the pilots being Squadron Leader O'Brien & Pilot Officer Bob Doe. P/O Doe visited the site of the crash and was horrified when he saw the remains of the crew and the results of the interception.
