he eldest, Iris (who emigrated to Australia in around 1947 after marrying an Australian) and Norman - the youngest. Next door lived Arthur Pike, another friend, but not sure about the names of his children. I do remember they used to come to our house around Christmas time and play cards with all of us and I always lost. We also used to have a sing song while my mother played the piano. There was a small narrow alleyway just past Dick Leach's house and my brother and his friends used to climb up that wall with their feet and back edging up bit by bit. Not to be outdone, I thought I'd have a go, but unfortunately when I got quite a way up, I froze and couldn't move to get down again. My brother told me to stay there while he got up underneath me. Gradually, I came down, absolutely petrified until we reached the ground. That was a lesson I didn't ever repeat again. I still think about it sometimes. and it still fills me with dread! Memories.

oe was born in Salford in 1877. Lord Northcliffe, the owner of the Daily Mail, offered a prize of £150 for the best design of a model aircraft that could manage more than 50 feet to take place at Alexandra Palace on 15th April 1907. Roe's rubber-powered "Avro-planes" outflew everything else reaching 100 ft or more, and he won all three prizes on offer. After many hardships he eventually built a full-sized man-carrying machine and took his biplane 75-150 ft through the air, on June 8th 1908, but only witnessed by the head carpenter and gate keeper at Brooklands. The article states that although others were lauded as the first to fly in England, the truth is that, technically, that prize belonged to Roe. So now, I know a little bit more about Alliott Verdon Roe.

ers. His favourite cowboy film was "The Mark of Zorro" where the hero was not only the fastest and deadliest with the gun, but also was an expert with a long whip. He would use the whip to leave his trademark (the letter Z) on the forehead of the villain. His best favourite however, was the series starring Flash Gordon, a time traveller. Happy days!

AEC, he told him and my other brother Bob that a doodle-bug had exploded in Southall Park. "Bobby and I were over there in a flash. It had made a huge crater at the bottom of which lay a huge mass of twisted metal. The whole of the jet section was still intact, and we set about dragging it out of the crater. It was very, very heavy, but we began half carrying, half dragging it homewards! We struggled for about three quarters of a mile, getting as far as Southall Town Hall traffic lights, but found it too heavy to go any further. We left it in the gutter and raced home to get help, but on our return someone had nipped in and taken it. We were really disappointed. What a triumph it would have been to have got it home and kept it. No amount of comics would have made me part with a trophy like that!"

n in our class at Southall Grammar in 1943. Don't know whether it is the same person, but he did mention that he went to Tudor road Juniors. He was also at Heston Farm with several of us from Southall in the school holidays in 1945. This particular boy was very good looking with curly fair hair and was a bit of a daredevil! He was the one who tried milking the cows in the orchard while we were there, and offering some to us girls, but we declined! I wonder if it was him?

as built a small church (St Anselms). This carried on under Father Buckle and Father Ward until the new St Anselms was built (more later) when the site became a school."

I hope to have a completed site by the end of the month and will post the URL then.

I have also been trying to make sense of the Spitfire crash at the Gaaworks, it would be logical that it may not have been common knowledge when it happened and I think Meads probably sourced the story from a report in one of the local papers at the time of the repatriation of the pilot's body.

I asked my father (now aged 87) whether he knew anything about the Spitfire, but he said no, he does however clearly recall the bomb that dropped near the Palace cinema, he was in there at the time and remembers the ruptured gas main shooting high in the air. My father also remembers the V1 that fell on Regina Road, he was walking in Belmont Avenue with his friend Denny Pickett when the engine cut out, he says they both just lay on the ground and prayed.

her than the aircraft.

The plane crashed on the 14 November 1940, details in the database are as follows:

"Serial Range R3150 - R3179. 30 Wellington Mk.1C. Part of a batch of 100 Wellington Mk.1C. R3150-R3179; R3195-R3239; R3275-R3299. Delivered by Vickers (Weybridge) between April and June 1940. R3298, Mk.V Prototype, with Bristol Hercules 111 (Type 421), later Hercules 111 (Type 436). R3299, Mk.V 2nd Prototype with Hercules V111 (Type 407), later Hercules X1. R3217; R3225; R3234; R3273 converted to Mk.XV1. R3221 converted to Mk.11. Airborne from Newmarket. Abandoned 0110 14Nov40 after running out of fuel and crashed near Hampton, Middlesex. One crew member reported slightly injured. Sgt F.Swatton Sgt J.A.Bowler Sgt Andrews Sgt R.W.Powell Sgt W.R.A.Dick Sgt A.Macnab This entire crew were destined to be killed the night of 25/26Nov40. See: R1176 "

As the crow flies Hampton would only be about 5 miles to Southall, if the plane was still under power when the crew baled out then this would not be an unreasonable distance for it to have continued.

hock could be felt through your body.
My Dad was in the RAF and my Mother worked at Heston Airport, my Mother and I were living with my Uncle and Aunt in Queens Road for the duration of the war.
My Uncle had been in WW1 although born in Southall served in the Argyle and Sutherland.

One other experience was when my Mother and I were visiting my Grandmother in Highgate, we were at the bottom of the hill and my Grandmother lived near the top. The air raid siren went off and we ran up the hill and got in the house just as a bomb went off nearby. The street outside was scattered with broken glass and my Grandmothers house was damaged and they had to have the front of the house supported by a large wooden prop.

southall on wards...mike jean collier have been in touch audrey leeds..they had photos done.war........huge pile wrecks raf and nazi..kept on cowley car factory site oxfordshire war artist paul nash did couple paintings of it on board19/18...wonder if your wing was part of spit fund..thanks john...best wishes

ime-delayed fuse. Maybe that was put about by the government to stop the panic they expected when people heard about the rockets.There was absolutely no defense against them.And no warning.
We used to watch the buzz-bombs coming toward us in the sky,and you could pretty well tell if you were in trouble,depending on the angle they were at when the motor cut out and it began to fall.
We had an Anderson shelter in the back garden on Cornwall Ave.and my brother was watching one approach that cut out before it got overhead,and he dove head first into the shelter.I forget where the bomb landed,but it wasn't too far away.
Our fighter pilots used to risk their lives trying to tip the bombs over with their wing-tips,while they were still over the English channel.They were afraid to fire at them because the explosion would probably damage the fighter.
I had three brothers in the army,and two others that were evacuated with me.My parents and my sister lived through the London blitz.We lived close to Surrey Docks and the place was pretty much flattened during the non-stop night raids,I think it went on for twenty seven nights straight.The Nazis just kept dropping more bombs,aiming at the previous nights fires.

ill remember what a nice pub it was, plenty of character with pleasant company, and a welcome feeling from the landlords. I didn't have any occasion to go back to Southall after my dad died, (apart from a brief visit in 2000), but I still retain that good memory of The Three Horseshoes in the Southall that I once knew.

a life to be proud of themselves with dignity and do for others honourably instead of themselves selfishly..tax pays for all their trouble..
