Tip and run tactics against V1's - Page 2

No it was chugging away towards England in this case. I never experienced any V1s falling in Normandy, the lines were far too close together.

Ah right, sorry for causing confusion, I initially thought of the off track idea because Caen is to the south/west of the V1's launch area in the Pas de Calais and England obviously to the north.

I repeat...I am not in the habit of posting anything but actual history.If you think this is odd other things happen that are even more bizarre.

Sapper As Kyt says, I wasnt doubting you for a second. Just an amazing story.

Though probably not as amazed as the former owners to recieve there little present back again.... Dont you wonder where it came down. Assuming it was aimed at london which is about 100 miles or so from Caan is it???

Thats a great picture !
While talking about strange events that happen in war, some are so "Way Out" that the Veterans will only talk about them amongst theirselves. And that is a shame. I cannot recall if I posted the strange tale of the "Garden Roller man" on here.
Its worth looking at if its on here somewhere?

I'll try to scan the image I have of a fighter chasing down a V1 over England.
