I remember reading a thread similar to this some time back and I posted a photo of a crashed bomber. but the OP said that the aircraft they remembered was a was a Messerschmitt I came across this yesterday it was taken in September 1940 and it was part of a display on Broad Street by the Colonnade to raise funds for the Lord Mayors Spitfire Fund. The aircraft had made a forced landing in Sussex some earlier that year.
Is that a Spitfire I can see, banking around just above the large building ?
It's a bit like "Spot the Ball", look where the sentries are looking.
Regarding the crashed Heinkel in Rumbush Lane, Earlswood, there's a page about it on the Solihull borough council site: https://www.solihull.gov.uk/Resident/Libraries/Local-family-history/bombingsinsolihull/ww2casualties5
Here's also a report of a crashed He111 at Blackthorne Road, Smethwick: https://www.bbc.co.uk/history/ww2peopleswar/stories/15/a4315015.shtml
