Hi philg
The pub was rebuilt because they still had it in the 1950's-i dont know how much was damaged but i know they still ran it in the 1950's . Maybe the newspapers of the day will have something in-i guess the archives may know. Especially if its a plane crash. It sounds a bit far fetched but it is supposed to be true. thanks again for that info philip-did it say who had the pub then???
thanks.
