Moreland Ave
A Memory of Dartford.
Yes I remember the V2 rocket that came down in Moreland Ave.I had just returned from the air raid shelter when the siren went again, we did not have time to go to the shelter again.I was in bed and when I pulled the bed covers back the room was full of dust and the windows were broken, this was at 138 Dartford Road.
The V2 rocket hit the gas main and the flames lit up the sky. A Mrs Coward was killed and her husband lost a part of his arm and I think blinded in one eye.
I think this was the last V2 to land in England
