This V1 is shown on the bomb
damage maps as striking
around the junction of Milton
Court Road and Vansittart Street.
No record can be found in the
Fire Brigade logs so no further
information can be provided.
The amount of re-development in
this area would tend to confirm a
Flying Bomb strike. It may be that
the V1 fell in the 1st September
1944-31stDecember 1944
period which the Fire Brigade
Records are missing for. Its
existence is however confirmed
by a casualty record at this
address on the Commonwealth
