I worked in Driffield until 1940 and I remember the big raid on Driffield airfield. After 1940 I worked at Deans in Beverley. I was an oxy-acetylene welder. We worked in teams of two welding metal components for aircraft. Deans also made parts for Bailey bridges. On VE Day there was a big party for children. It was held at the Latimer Church. I haven’t done any welding since then
