I was 4 in 1940. We lived on the third floor of a tenement on Menzies Road in Torry. Whenever the siren went off we dropped everything and headed to the air-raid shelter.
One night we'd gone to the shelter and were listening to explosions. When we returned to the house we couldn't go down our street.
The following day we were permitted into our house to clear up the mess. A bomb had landed between Menzies Road and Victoria Road and all the shop windows and house windows had been smashed. The windows in our house had been blown in and glass was scattered everywhere across the beds and floors.
