It is now possible to reveal the Interesting story behind the shooting down of a JU

It is now possible to reveal the Interesting story
behind the shooting down of a JU 83 from Fair Island off the North of Scotland.
There are ant-aircraft gunners stationed on the island, a tiny speck of land buffeted by gales from the Atlantic and the North Sea, and sometimes cut off for weeks from the mainland.
Once a week a boat fights its way into the little sandy bay bringing ammunition, rations and mail.
A dinghy goes out to meet it because the small jetty is not large enough to accommodate the boat. The
inhabitants of the island are divided mainly into three large families, totalling some seventy persons.
The gunners stationed on the island under the command of Lt. E. J. Reynolds, from Exeter, bake their own bread, do their own washing, and cut their meat in the time old fashion - a complete sheep at a time. The island can be a sanctuary of peace and natural beauty, and it can be a pretty hot spot as witness the occasion when the gunners shot a JU 88 into the sea in 35 seconds.
