What a wonderful series of programmes it brought back memories of being down in a reinforced cellar 2 Sandy lane Aston.
The elderly lady explained it very factual Siren then down the shelter, the drone as enemy planes passed over head you'd hear the whistle of bombs falling then you waited for the bang. sometimes no bang was heard was it a delayed action bomb was it a bomb that failed to go off or was it or was it empty shell or bomb storage casing throw out of the planes to make planes lighter to fly back to base.
Then the all clear siren you'd emerge out of the shelter tired and shaken, to the smell of leaking town gas and the smell of water on hot bricks and timber burning and the only sound you hear is crackling fire and an odd shout.
It's something you never forget I very often think I can smell that horrible smell but it's just in the mind. I do hope we never see those days again.
