From reader davidb: "I was asleep in the in the basement of those old three storey Georgian houses. The impact was around 51°28'N 1°23', roughly halfway between "Stop 9" and St James church on the Google map. Our half of the house was later pulled down, but St James' church only lost its tiles and its spire. Considering how close the explosion was, that very much bears out "Blitz Street"'s conclusion that blast damage from V2's was strictly limited. We knew that at the time.
Sorry can't help with the date. I wish I knew. It must have been a late one, because we had already been bombed out by a V1." '
