[An Away Move]

I have a fond memory of sitting with my dad in a make believe shelter in some War Experience attraction near London Bridge in the 90s. He'd have been 9 years old in 1940. I asked him if the sound of the German bombers and doodlebugs must have been scary. "Not as scary as when they stopped whistling" was his reply, as that was when you knew they started falling. Most of us simply cannot imagine having to sit in shelter whilst there is an enemy in the sky with malicious intent!
