"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."
