I lived at 68 West Street. My father was head gardener at Hinton House when the Malvern Girls College moved back to Malvern, he moved and we followed later in between the Germans bombed us, and I think it was the next day they came over in daylight, we could see the pilots, they were so low. The head master had his windscreen broken by shrapnel in Crewkerne, they were looking for Yeovilton. John Burge.
