Beware potential big hole in mud

yup, my mum can still remember the sound they made when flying over from east to west heading for the uk...

nasty things as some times they just dropped down...

That'll be the V1 "doodle bug" flying bombs , dropped when engine stopped .
V2's were rockets , didn't hear those untill the explosion , my granddad was a air raid warden in London , had quite a few stories to tell ...
