What about The Battle of Lewes 1264

[@SgtSteel1]

Great job researching and making this video!

Well done old son - except (1) D Day was 1944 not 1945...slip of the tongue I suspect...(2) I always thought William the Bastard's first ships arrived on 27th September 1066, rather than October when the battle was fought (poor old Harold had to make a forced march from Stamford Bridge southwards when he got the news). I have reason to recall that date/month, marking as it does a far more personal arrival almost 900 years later! That aside, a most scholarly overview which as a Sussex lad by birth, and (on my fathers side anyhow), breeding, I was more than happy to listen to! I think by now you well and truly belong!

It's annoying to find that I just didn't catch a few things! I rewrote parts of the script about five times, and never caught the 1945 error. I read the script correctly, too bad the script was wrong, and that I didn't see when I read it! I hate it when that happens.

Small correction, The downed German fighter in the photo near the end of the video that is captioned 'Focke Wulf 190' is a Messerschmitt Bf 109. Good job, from a life long (over 70 years) Sussex resident 👍

[@SussexYank]

Well, darn, you're right! The photo was captioned incorrectly in the source I got it from is my excuse, but as a military aircraft enthusiast I should have seen that right away. That is a hazard of making documentaries for KZbin -- after it's uploaded you can't really fix anything because you instantly lose views, likes, and video address. So then you suffer from knowing your mistakes are forever! Oh well!

I think the location of the crash was Shoreham airport. My father was in the home guard and if this is Shoreham, then he guarded that plane until the RAF arrived to take it away. Thanks for the Videos I have enjoyed them very much.

Burpham is south of Arundel

[@SussexYank]

Umm, are you sure? Google maps seems to show the village of Burpham to be northeast of Arundel.

[@tonym480]

@@SussexYank I agree with you, Burpham is north east of Arundel, to the south is Lyminster and the course of the River Arun on it's way to Ford and Littlehampton. I've walked the river bank between Littlehampton and Arundel many times.

@@SussexYank oops my mistake!

[@SussexYank]

@@davidreeves-turner6572 That's OK, we all make them! I am still chagrined over an error I made in my first video for this channel. I can't fix it without losing the views and upvotes, so I'm stuck with it! 😄
