This cache remembers WW2 German pilot Unteroffizier Leo Zaunbrecher who, after he had taken off from an aerodrome near the coast of France at mid-day 12th August 1940 and had been flying at 19,500 ft, was wounded when he was attacked from the rear by a Spitfire. With the controls and petrol tank being shot away, he had to perform a forced landing in a field at Mays Farm, Berwick, at approximately 13.00 hours.

His plane as Messerschmitt Bf 109E-1 Werke/Nr.3367 from unit 2 Staffel./Jagdgeschwader 52.
On the port side of the plane there was a Red Devil with a bow and arrow, also a red triangle with two red rings below the machine gun port on the port side of the fuselage along with a 14 + in red. The aircraft was fitted with an armoured bulkhead.
