16th April 1941 6 Jerries down!

Sirens from 10pm. All clear at 5.30am Planes overhead all the time, by glow on side of Woodbury Common our neighbours who remained in garden till 12.30am saw a plane crash in flames [we got 6 Jerries down] and also an oil bomb drop. This they thought fell on our Countess Weir gold links but later turned out to some 4 miles other side of Exeter. Plum trees all in blossom, bulbs coming out, bought some rose trees, Godetia and Clarkia seeds sprouting.
