“A convoy of tanks came up Holloway Lane and left ruts in the road' David Thomas also had a frightening experience:

“I was riding my bike home from school when a plane swooped down and flew round the gasworks in Windsor road”.“Ian Hayes writes, "My recollection of the incident was that the plane, a Heinkel 111, came over quite low and stooged around for a while. I think, like me, the ack-ack crews did not realise what it was. Then all hell broke loose. The gunner in the plane as taking pot shots at folks by then - I was under the stairs in two seconds.”
