christmas eve 1944 heinkel squadron 1/kg53 launched 45 V1s from over the north sea against Manchester,many people were killed in the oldham and tottington area.several V1s carried no warhead only propaganda material in a hope it would survive a crash landing.I now understand the oswaldtwistle one possibly crashed near the old quarries off the grane road but not confirmed yet.One also crashed at gregson lane bamber bridge. I also believe the ossy site has been investigated by an ww2 aircraft research group.
