One most notable memory during the war was late one summers evening when I was playing in the street and all of a sudden the sky was full of aeroplanes. As I looked down Hand Avenue, they were travelling from right to left and one of the planes dropped a flare, which I watched it fall till it hit the ground. The next morning, I went to where I remembered the flare had fallen and not knowing what to expect but discovered much to my surprise a huge hole in the grass verge, which I boldly sat in. Years later I discovered that it was the night the Germans decided to bomb Coventry in 1940.
