A young schoolboy gives the ‘thumbs up’ alongside the tail of a crashed Dornier bomber, apparently oblivious to the damage caused to surrounding houses. Schoolchildren avidly sought souvenirs from such locations, and would collect anything from ‘shrapnel’ to live ammunition and incendiary bombs. Since this was impossible to prevent, many schools eventually capitalized on it, displaying souvenirs to raise money for war charities and to spread awareness of the dangers. I would have been the same for sure maybe a little worse..
He heh, to this day there is a Heinkel in a boggy farmers field in the hills where my dad grew up. The Heinkel was stripped bare at the time, but the plane itself still shows more or less of itself depending on how much rain there is..... Hey though i hear it was "Schoolboys beware!!!" Unexploded bombs !!! :wtf:
At the age of 11 i wouldn't have been able to have read this.. :lol: btw Dave, where abouts was the field you mention?
