At approximately 17.00 hours on the 13th inst a Typhoon fighter bomber, No JR 212, piloted by F/Sgt JARVIS of RAF Sector, Middle Wallop made a forced landing through engine failure on farmland at Blackcap Farm, Blackcap Hill, parish of Beddingham. The pilot was unhurt and was taken to Friston RAF drome by the Officer I/c of a Canadian Artillery unit firing on the range, of which Blackcap Farm is part.

On my arrival the pilot had been taken away, and I was informed that before going he had got in touch with his station by radio, and had left all safe on the machine. This was badly damaged underneath as it had made a belly landing. There was no guard on the machine so Dc Peters remained until 20.40 hours when a Sgt BARTER and a guard arrived. Sgt Barter stated that he had received his instructions from Major Barry, No 1 C.A.R.U. attached to the Canadian School of Artlillery, Seaford, and was to remain until the RAF Guard arrived.

On return to Newhaven, Friston were contacted and informed of the facts.
