Urban myth in Bracknell, Berkshire is that a German Messerschmitt crashed at Easthampstead during World War Two, but no-one has any details of the incident.
I am aware of the Junker bomber which dropped a stick of bombs down the main drive of Easthampstead Park in 1941 but don't know if this was the same incident.
I have also researched the two crashes involving British planes in the area but have drawn a blank on the German one. Is anyone able to supply any information or point me in the right direction for further research please?
