Great website, very interesing, thank you.
Could you please give an example or a few further clues as to how to convert the Cassini Coordinates to Lat & Long please?
Looking at the second V2 from the 8th of Sept 1944 it gives the Ref as L 892 254 and using the website suggested the best I can do is to place it somewhere in the North Sea about 42 miles west of the Danish coast! Whearas it should be Nr Epping.
I have tried many permutation without sucess, any help much appreciated, thanks.
Regards
Mike

Incident Number 23 – V2 Position and Crater

Hi thank you for a superb website which feeds my lifelong fascination with anything to do with WW2. I will like to ask about incident 23 in Hockley Essex, where I have lived the bulk of my life. I believe the site for this is actually in the square woods to the east of its current marked position in Marylands Woods, bordering Mount Crescent, just the other side of the railway crossing. There is a huge crater, filled with water within the south east corner of these woods

In reply to Graham Berry. No V2 incident is recorded this far North we suggest it was a V1 so we have no information.
