Summary
| Description |
English: It's grim up north, Salt End, East Riding of Yorkshire, England. Salt End chemical works on a rainy day in December, looking south-southwest from the embankment near the western end of the Hull Road flyover. The oil depot at Salt End was the target of the first daylight raid of the Second World War. On Sunday 30th June 1940 a lone Heinkel He 111 aircraft dropped 16 high explosive bombs on the depot, most of which did little damage but shrapnel from one of them pierced a tank holding about 2,500 tons of petrol, which caught fire. The fire was brought under control and most of the petrol saved, and five George Medals were later awarded to civilians for their courage in tackling the blaze. The German bomber was shot down by aircraft of No 616 Squadron twenty minutes after the raid and its crew were rescued from the sea by the destroyer HMS Black Swan. http://www.ne-diary.bpears.org.uk/Inc/ISeq_04.html |
