Locally we had incendiary bombs dropped to the south of the town (that was quite close to us); we had many aircraft come down - our own.
I witnessed two aeroplanes crashing in to each other — they came up and then crashed, one fell back and burned out and the other just crashed down. The pilots were both killed.
