    RAF Spitfire X4261 shot down on the 5th September 1940 during the battle of Britain and crashed at Smarden in Kent.

    Flight Lieutenant F.W Rushmer failed to return from combat with Dornier DO17’S and Messerschmitt bf 109's over Biggin Hill on 5th September 1940. His Spitfire number X4261 was that which crashed at Buckmans Green Farm, Smarden. At first the pilot from this aircraft was buried as 'unknown' in All Saints' churchyard, Staplehurst on 11th September 1940. In May 1998, a named headstone replaced the original unknown with his name and a service of dedication was held in September that year. The crash site of the plane was dug in 1970 and many parts of the plane were recovered.
