A parachute floating through the air

I worked in Lewisham for six years and witnessed much devastation of the main streets and the market place.

On one occasion, the air raid sirens sounded and as usual we evacuated the store.

Our immediate attention was centered on the sky over Blackheath where a dog fight was occurring between two planes. One was disabled and a parachute was seen to be floating through the air.

We had to get over the road to the brick built overground shelter. On one occasion, the shelter wall shook badly enough to injure a member of our staff.
