Michael Herbert Anderson (11 December 1916 – 10 May 1940) was an English cricketer who played four first-class cricket matches for Cambridge University Cricket Club and Free Foresters .[1] [2] Minor Counties Championship matches for Hertfordshire County Cricket Club .[3]
Military career and death [ edit ]
Anderson joined the Royal Air Force in 1936 and was commissioned as a Pilot Officer . He was stationed with No. 600 Squadron RAF at RAF Manston in Kent flying Bristol Blenheim as fighters. On 10 May 1940, Anderson and his air gunner , Leading Aircraftman Herbert Hawkins (but not the navigator), were assigned to a mission to bombard Waalhaven airfield near Rotterdam in the Netherlands . The six Blenheims of B Flight involved in the mission were ambushed whilst returning to base by twelve Messerschmitt Bf 110s near Spijkenisse . Hawkins shot down one of the attacking aircraft, but the attack was too much for the Blenheims. Anderson and Hawkins' aircraft was chased by a single Bf 110, and one of the engines burst due to German fire above Hoogvliet . Forced to attempt a crash landing, Anderson crashed the plane into a field near Hoogvliet. Both Anderson and Hawkins were killed in the landing, Anderson being decapitated. Anderson and Hawkins are buried in Spijkenisse Old General Cemetery.[4] [5] [6] [7] [8]
