De-synchronised engines
My goodness, what memories come flooding back when I see the words de-synchronised engines! I was living in New Malden during the Blitz and, yes, it was terrifying for a 3-year-old who had been wakened from a deep sleep and carried down to a damp bunk bed in the Anderson shelter in the back garden. I can replay a tape in my head of the sound of the engines, no problem.
In answer to another posting on this forum about retaining sanity, I think that, if you lived through WW2 as a child, your sanity is guaranteed, as you can probably live through anything! I am 75 and am sound in mind and body (the latter not so hot but still working quite well!)
This is my first exposure to the forum and I will probably become a regular visitor, as the subject matter is very interesting. Thank you for reading my posting. (I am ex-Coastal Command RAF -- Air Sea Warfare Development Unit 1955-1959.)
