	Ju88 - Cranleigh, Surrey

The crash site of a Ju88 has been re-excavated in Surrey. The aircraft was
Ju88A-1 V4-MU Wn.4300 of 10/KG1 and was shot down the night of 16-17 April 1941.
The crew, who all died in the crash, was:

Oberleutnant Schlecht
Oberfeldwebel Herman
Oberfeldwebel Gerleid
Oberfeldwebel Frieisen

After being shot down by a Beaufighter, the aircraft dived steeply into the ground
and exploded. The original recovery team and a 'dig' in the early 1970s left little
wreckage to be found, except for the remains of a smashed engine.

The excavation at Thorne's Flush, near Cranleigh, Surrey.
