Today 82 years ago, on the  22 January 1941, a Junkers Ju 88A from Luftwaffe 2 Fernaufklärer Aufklärungsgruppe 123 crashed at Jersey Airport. It was reported that the crash was due to due to pilot error on landing. 

However, there was some local defiance causing some of the German crashes between 40-42.  Below is Charles Roche, who was kept on by the Germans to maintain the airport, having previously been the Airport controller before the invasion.  

He had the runways cut to a very short level reducing the braking capabilities for aircraft. At the war's end, he was credited for 28 runway incidents before being sent to an internment camp in Germany in September 1942. 

Here are some of the recorded crashes he may have been responsible for. 

On 23 August 1940 a Junkers Ju 52v crashed during landing at Jersey Airport
On 3 November 1940, a Junkers Ju 88A-1 crashed during landing at Jersey Airport
On 5 November 1940, a Junkers Ju 88A-1 crashed during landing at Jersey Airport
On 7 November 1940, a Junkers Ju 52 crashed and overturned at Jersey Airport. 
On 27 December 1940, a German aircraft, maybe a Junkers Ju 52 crashed and burnt at Jersey Airport.
On 22 January 1941, a Junkers Ju 88A from 2 (F)/123 crashed during landing at Jersey Airport
On 19 February 1941, a Dornier Do 17P crashed during landing at Jersey Airport
On 20 February 1941, a Junkers Ju 52A-5 crashed during landing at Jersey Airport 
In February 1941, a Junkers Ju 52 crashed at Jersey Airport.

It was probably not the best idea to leave a retired RAF Lieutenant in charge of the civilian side of the airport. 

He survived the camps and returned to Jersey with his wife. Below is a small post-war newsreel about him.
