Just a few minutes from my strip in Somerset is Downside School... Alan McCracken was killed, unfortunately along with 9 schoolboys as well as 14 badly injured, when his Sea Hurricane hit some trees and plowed into the crowd watching a cricket match near the red stand on May 15th 1943... Even though the war was in full swing there was an enquiry which censured the leader of this formation of two and can be Googled. I believe a memorial to all killed that day was recently unveiled.
