I used to live opposite St Marks church in Lisburn, up on the hill. There are houses all around there now but it was all fields then; Elmwood Church car park was our orchard. There was a farmer and he lived on the Brokerstown Road, his name was Duncan and one of his fields got a bomb in it. A huge crater it made. People came from far and near to see it. A plane was coming over and dropped a bomb, I don’t know why. There weren’t any lights or anything there that they could have aimed at something. With being in the country we were not really in the middle of it.
