I was on a radar course in Woolwich when the doodlebugs were flying over. We were in civvy billets and walked to Woolwich Polytechnic each morning. One morning we were late leaving and as soon as we started walking a doodlebug started to descend. We dived down on to the road and heard a terrific crash. As we gathered ourselves together again and resumed walking we discovered the doodlebug had landed exactly where we would have been had we left the billet on time.
