I was born at Mersey Farm, Newchurch on the Isle of Wight in 1936. My first recollection of the war was the attempted bombing of the three radar plyons at Ventnor, they were never hit. The first repel of D-Day at five in the morning the farm was stacked with military vehicles, all the officers had disappeared on a forage for eggs, which they brought back to the farm to be cooked. Also I can remember a German fighter plane being shot down and the pilot bailing out in still in his seat, he never survived, the plane landed in a cousins farm about three miles away.
