I was serving with the RAOC and stationed on an ammunition depot situated near to Oxted in Surrey. From the house in which we were billeted we had a marvelous view across the downs towards Sussex and one night we heard this sound like a motor-cycle engine and looking through the windows we saw what appeared to be a kind of aircraft with flames coming from the rear. We saw many of these that first night and later we learned what they were. .

While the onslaught on these weapons continued quite a few landed in the Oxted area but luckily none ever dropped in the depot otherwise there would have been an almighty bang and no doubt many casualties.
