I think the moors immeadiatly south of Ossy was one of the last places in the UK to be struck by a V1 flying bomb, at the very end of WW2. Why they were aiming for Ossy, I do not know...it could be it was regarded as a place of vital strategic importance, or maybe it could have been done on the direct orders of Hitler. Maybe he knew something that no one else knew, or still knows.....
