It was a dull day, trying to rain. As I was in the ATC we had to study aeroplane recognition. We heard the drone of a plane, I looked up at the sky and I said, 'It's a Heinkel 111. My mate said, 'Never'. I said to him, 'It's a Jerry'. “
“It was very low, flying below the clouds. The doors opened and this thing fell out, I thought first of all it was a bloke jumping out. It traveled almost parallel to the bomber's body heading over the church, then it went past the church and started to go down the slope following the contour of the Holloway. It dropped in the road heading to the BSA. I went later to look at the crater. It didn't kill anyone but it shattered the windows.”
