Sir PHLC - did you see the series Tony Robinson's did on TV about the effects of bombs on rows of houses? they interspersed wartime images, one of six appliances parked at the side of the street. All were burned out. We had a copy of the photo at home, but cleared out by Mum after Dad died, without our knowing. One of the appliances was the one Dad had been driving that night. Ernest Lough was on TV in 81 (I was watching on the OM ante room TV at Binbrook) interviewed by David Jacobs ("Where are they now" the programme) and EL told the story of the night the City (and City Temple) were blitzed in almost identical words to my Dad's before he had died in 1974
