building our
family tree .At

dad and mum and
my siblings

Pantile Row, and
myself and my
cousin Barbara
lived with my
nan and granddad
and aunt Edie.
in the High
Street. near
Grants store. My
dad was in the
army in ww2 for
a short while
but he was
invalided out
.because he had
a wonky ankle it
runs in the
family. After
that he worked
as a grounds man
at the HAWKER
AIRCRAFT
AERODROME at
Langley. He
adapted an old
car so that it
would pull the
grass cutters
along . He
mowed. the
grass. almost
every day I
remember the
Sunday the only
time the
aerodrome got
hit by a bomb.
He was in the
middle of the
field when this
stray bomber
flew over him .
He was unhurt
