December 1944. I was in Swandean Hospital over Christmas with Scarlett Fever. It was my first recollection of the doodlebugs - one passed right over the hospital. I remember that some of the nurses got dressed up as foxes - they scared the pants off us kids! I went to Lyndhurst Primary School and in the mornings, we used to watch the bombers flying back, some trailing smoke, some with bits missing some with the propellors stopped. We also used to watch the fighter planes wheeling about and remember vividly seeing a plane with one wing cartwheeling down over Pearsons Retreat and ditching in the sea.
