    I was speaking to a guy who sadly died last year aged 97 in the village, and he was the Home Guard Sergeant looking after a lot of these boxes and crew, he was telling me all the East Anglian boxes right into London had a searchlight unit attached to them, with some cracking WAAF's doing the business from start to finish!!
    Not sure what he meant by that, but he married one of them, so the light must have shown into their eyes
