On December 15, 1944, Shaw was aboard a Lancaster bomber returning from an aborted raid on Germany. Approaching the south coast of England, the bombardier jettisoned his payload including a 4,000-pound bomb called a "cookie," which exploded several feet above the surface of the sea. As Shaw looked out to see the explosion, he spotted a Norseman flying below"Shock waves from the explosion, Shockwaves probably knocked the small aircraft out of the sky.

[macbrack]

Millers flight plan took him over the Channel close to an area used by the USAF bombers to dump unused bombs on their return....with bad weather possibly blowing the plane of course it is likely that it was hit, at low level, by such munitions...and probably witnessed and reported...hence no search and a delayed and ineffectual investigation...the USAF would not wanted to be held responsible!!

Nimoy keeps saying "Children" Hills when it's "Chiltern" Hills
