My mother鈥檚 sister, Auntie Nora worked in an ammunitions factory and claimed that she could tell the difference between German and English aeroplanes simply by the engine noise.
One day Auntie Nora came to visit us and the air raid sirens went off as a plane flew over head. 鈥淭hat鈥檚 a Gerry鈥 she said to my Dad and he didn鈥檛 believe her until an incendiary bomb landed in our garden.
