During the war my mother Edna Rogers lived in Beckenham. At the bottom of the Garden of their house were playing fields and an Ack Ack battery was built here, to the famillies consternation. My mother recounted to me that one day, she was sitting at her dressing table, with her back to the window, brushing her hair. Suddenly , the mirror of the dressing table was filled with a huge swastika ! A Nazi plane had dived low to attack the gun site.Fortunantly neither she or any of the familly were hurt.
