Good heavens. When we lived in London 30 years ago I did a lot of reading about the Battle of Britain, and met a lot of people who "were there." This is still astonishing.

The link is set up with the coordinates round my house, on Azof Street: <http://bombsight.org/?#16/51.4890/0.0063> When I first moved here the site at the junction with Christchurch Way was still derelict, 50 years after the war. It's been built on now. Some of the older people still living on this street were here throughout the war, while the bombs were dropping round them. From time to time while people are doing building work an unexploded bomb still turns up. The most recent near to me was on the riverside path about 10 years ago. When you zoom out of the map it's quite shocking to see how many bombs fell in such a short time. We gave as much as we got, of course.
