We all had a funny feeling that something was brewing but had no idea what. It wasn’t like today when you have the television and you know what is going on worldwide all of the time. But we suspected something big was happening when we were all called on duty, although there wasn’t a lot of air activity. Gradually we began to realise it was a big day. The next morning we woke up and everyone had gone — all the soldiers who had been stationed in our area were no longer there. Then we knew it had been D-Day. It was such a shock and strangely quiet. We are still finding out today the bigger picture of what went on during those years; it is fascinating.
