"Being here takes me
back to my childhood, standing on the shelter
cheering on our planes during dogfights over
Kent, then being clipped round the ear for
not being being down the shelter! We collected
shrapnel and burned our fingers on the hot
metal many times. It also brings back memories
of doodlebugs (V1's) a really frightening
experience when the engines stopped and even
worse with the slient V2's." |

"Born in September 1943,
I was too young to remember the seond World
War conflict. As a youngster I watched the
black and white and later colour glamorised
cinema coverage of the Battle of Britain etc.
Now older & hopefully wizer! the bravery
& dogged determination of our forefathers
who fought to protect their kids and loved
ones makes me feel very humble." |
