Hurricane Way, Shotgate Industrial Estate
Hurricane Way is a T-shaped thoroughfare as can be seen in this image. It is so called in honour of Pilot Officer William Hodgson DFC, a New Zealander, who on 31st May 1940 engaged hostile bombers and fighters over the River Thames in his Hawker Hurricane which was then hit and caught fire. In attempting to return to his base at RAF Debden, he resisted bailing out, which would have left the aircraft to crash on a populated area, and instead crash landed in fields just outside Shotgate to avoid damage and injury to local people. He was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for this but was killed less than a year later in an aircraft accident. Lambro is a firm providing specialist interiors and shopfitting.
