Andy and Betty Jennings, of Puriton, Somerset, had no idea their bungalow was built next to the spot where a Heinkel was shot down in the Battle of Britain.

But wartime archaeologists found its remains on radar and will start excavating next week.

Retired BT engineer Andy, 56, said parts of the plane could be six feet below the surface.

"It was a surprise, but we''re quite excited by it now," the Sun quoted him as saying.

Wartime records show the Heinkel was part of a Luftwaffe raid on aircraft works in Filton, Bristol, and Cardiff docks in August 1940.
