Alan.....you were right on the button......the crash happened right where you said it did and the pilot walked away back to the Speke airfield. Do you remember the fair which used to visit every year at the bottom of Western Avenue on the back field there. I remember sitting with the gypsies'kids on that dis-used country lane, at the back of Dymchurch prefabs. I sampled my first taste of Hedgehog on their campfires. That's what they used to eat quite often, when their dogs used to find them. The hogs were rolled in clay, after being killed, and then tossed onto the fire whole. The clay baked hard and when it cooled down, the whole thing was broken open and the skin peeled off with the clay pot attached. I remember the meat was good and very lean. That was 55 years ago and of course Hedgehogs are now protected like most of the other British flora and fauna.
Do you remember the Ford factory being built? It is now the Jaguar Plant. I remember the huge dredgers emptying the many ponds that were on that site. The kids of the area helped themselves to the many hundreds of roach and other fish that were emptied onto the fields by the machinery. It was a shame to lose those ponds because that's where all the local kids fished.
