This print captures a significant moment in history as soldiers, policemen, and local farmers come together to inspect the wing of a German Messerschmitt BF109E. Shot down during a fierce dogfight over the picturesque Kent countryside, this formidable aircraft crashed near the Channel port of Ramsgate on August 28th, 1940. The image showcases the resilience and unity displayed by these individuals amidst the chaos of war. The scene is filled with intrigue as military personnel clad in their uniforms stand alongside brave locals who have ventured out to witness this extraordinary event. Rifles held firmly in hand, they meticulously examine the wreckage, seeking clues that may shed light on their enemy's tactics.
