Bridge Infants School Crashed Warplane

A Memory of Wealdstone.

I attended The Bridge Infants and Junior School from 1947 and vividly remember that in the Infants playground on the banking at the rear, a crashed warplane, which I always assumed was a Spitfire. I realise it was likely to have been a German plane. Does anyone remember it sticking out of the soil of the banking ?
Another Memory was being told to write with my right hand like everyone else in the class. I end up writing backwards for some time and developing a stutter !, How times have changed. I am of course left handed as are both my children.

OMG, I was at Bridge from 1947 too! We might have been in the same class.
I seem to remember a Miss Berry and definitely two Miss Hendersons who were sisters and Scottish.
I don't remember the plane, though.
My niece who went there 9 years later was also trained out of using her left hand.
I just learned today that an old friend from Bridge, Madeleine Wheeler, had died in January.
