I had moved from Bradford to Lincoln. One night the air-raid warning sounded and there were sounds of bombs dropping on Waddington (just outside Lincoln) where there was a large R.A.F. station.

This undoubtably saved many lives in the village. People were killed on the airfield though by the bombs and the gunfire
