In 1942 my Dad, Steve Nichols, was an engineer working at Blackburn's Aircraft Company at Brough. He travelled daily by train from Leeds to Brough a journey which was often delayed due to enemy action.
The factory was on the Humber estuary and had large metal gates on the entrance which faced the river. One evening Dad was about to go out of the gate when he was called back by the watchman on duty.
