In September 1940 (at the height of the Battle of Britain) a German bomber jetisoned its load of over 40 bombs just south of Marlow. In November 1949 the British Ecological Society published a study of the colonisation of the craters by wildlife. Their report gives the location of the field, and amazingly some of the craters are still clearly visible 67 years later
