I remember......

vapour trails in the sky over Salford.

land army girls digging on Duchy road

running to an air raid shelter and looking towards Manchester at blood red skies. I can still hear the air raid wardens shouting 'get that light out!'

in Pendleton I remember watching a Lancaster come crashing down on Langley road and dredging the Irwell for parts.

I remember taking waste food to a pigswill bin outside our air raid shelter and picking up shrapnel in a school playground.

In Blackpool I watched troops parade on Collaseum car park.

I remember London street school took a direct hit and our infant school had bomb damage on Primrose Hill.

Aek-Aek-Battery camp at Agecroft.

Playing in Bill Lines metal air raid shelter under the table.
