Yes, I was only 2or3 duringthe BoB but you may remember that the war lasted a few more years. I cannot, at this remove, remember exactly when the Anderson shelter incident ocurred but getting shot at was probably at the time of the tip and run raids. I was a bit too young to actually identify the aircraft. All I know is that it came over the hill and all the adults dispersed sharpish so I did too and just heard a few bangs and then it was all over. Caught the bus too. To put things in perspective, I can remember going out with my mate from over the road the morning after a raid looking for shrapnel. Never actually found any! Mate's name was Geoff Baldock - anyone remember him?
