One memory from Ken Holt (ex Devizes Home Guard and RAF) said “I remember during the Battle of Britain in September 1940 a German fighter flew over the Market Place in Devizes, closely followed by a Spitfire. “An old woman shouted, why don’t thee shoot the bugger down? A man next to her pointed out, well he might fall down on we". The German plane was eventually shot down over Imber on Salisbury Plain. Can you help?
