Johnson Road in about 2012. You can make a comparison with the photo taken in November 1940, not a lot has changed.
The crash site the morning after. You can see one of the distingtive airscrews ion the foreground.
Reverse of the photo of 1940. The government were keen to show that every day life continued. Any photo showing bodies, people in distress were barred, and the ideal photo was of a family carrying on as normal, even enyoying a cup of tea. See the links section for more information.
