An event that happened to me when I was 10 (1940). Me and my friend were coming back from the shops, when a German Fighter dive bombed and machine gunned us. We knew the sounds and I said "That sounds like a Gerry" then we saw them and we had to run and hide under hedges. I got home shaking like a leaf. Then it went and machine gunned Tilbury fort.
