Went shopping around the Co-op in Wimpole Road, Colchester.
When leaving the Co-op bakery in Kendall Road, a lone Dormier 217 flew over Colchester, machine gunning randomly.
A postal worker, on hearing the noise, ran out of Head Street sorting office and was hit in the back.
Mum and I were so surprised at hearing bullets striking roofs and road, we just stood still and watched the aircraft fly directly over us.
