    Re.Lancaster at Westlands Airfield 1940-1944.

    Alan thanks, I have tried several channels for information, but there are few people around now who knew Yeovil in those dark days. It did occur to me it may have been a decoy, because it was well away from the Westland Works at the opposite end of the field. We did’nt seem to get many air raids, (hence the reason for my mother & myself being down there), and that part of Yeovil lay surrounded by hills on about three sides if I remember. At the time I was there, the biggest danger was from ‘hit and run’ raids. I believe the most serious raid around that era was when a shop in the main street was bombed, (possibly Woolworths), and a number of people were killed. Regards,Don.

    Re. Westlands-Yeovil 1940-1944 period.

    Thank you for your interest. At that time I had several relatives who worked for Westlands, as did so many people down there. Unfortunately now they are all deceased.
