I had to get some hips and haws for a project at school so I went from Saint George's down Arthur Street because I had noticed some in the hedgerow along the BSA fields. I was right by the gate when this plane came over. The man behind the BSA gates shouted, ‘Run Miss. run'. The plane was machine- gunning anybody on the ground.
The plane wobbled from side to side then it dropped the bomb. There was such an explosion. I was petrified. I ran home and said to my mum, They've bombed the BSA and my dad's dead'. The bomb dropped opposite the entrance to Lodge Farm School, to the back and slightly to the left of the Poldark Club. There was an enormous crater.”
