Our WW2 Allotment and encounter with a Flying Bomb

In WW2 my parents had an allotment at Wormholt Park about 25 minutes from our flat at Emlyn Gardens. Mention of that use in the Council web site

Just north across the railway was one of my future Schools. I sometimes waled this way to school.

We grew vegatables and I loved shelling fresh peas plus a crop of sweet peas 

One day in 1944 enjoying a day at the allotment there was suddenly the chug chug sound of a V-1_flying_bomb. 

The V-1 was the first of the Vergeltungswaffen (V-weapons) deployed for the terror bombing of London. 
It was up high flying north over my future school and vanished into the far distance. 
Very nasty feeling seeing it. I do not know what damage it caused.

The allotment was great.
