>Dear Denise, I wonder if you are referring to an enemy plane crash landing in Orcop area of Hereford.? My mother remembers the story of that crash as her family were involved in helping save the German pilot. The story goes something like this: After the plane crashed the farmers came around the plane and rescued the pilot and took him to Pontrilas where he was kept till he could be taken away.Must have caused quite a commotion , I have visions of the TV programme "Dad's Army" in my head when I think about this story. Of course the problem was that some didn't want to save this pilot as he was the enemy, but a group did ..... and after the war the parents of this pilot came over from Germany and visited the area to thank the local people for saving his life. I think an article of clothing like a hat was made out of the leather seat of the plane as a momento and kept by my family. Hope this is what you were referring to.
