As a former resident of Worthing, West Sussex, I was most interested in the Beware the Tormented Lion article by Andy Saunders in February edition, and a photograph on page 83 in particular. During World War Two my late father served as a special constable and during that time somehow 'acquired' a Heinkel Werke name plate (No.1582), but how and when was never explained. Mystery solved! On pages 80/81 we have a description of the engagement and the demise of He 111 1582 'G1+FR' at High Salvington, north Worthing. After being in my possession for more than 50 years, the name plate's story has finally been revealed.
