I wanted to add that it’s unbelievable to me that you could hear “motorcycles in the air” where sleep was impossible and then just make a pot of tea! You saw small planes overhead on fire and huge explosions that lit up the sky, flying bombs with no pilots that were B1 bombs, and your parents didn’t pack up and move to Scotland at the very first opportunity? I mean from the practical point of view when the bombs cause your windows to shatter and the plaster to crack it’s time to go.
