Front page of today's Daily Mirror headlining a great win in the sky for Britain against the Germans. #1940

I popped in to see our elderly neighbour during the break in raids to see how she was. I told her that was nothing to be scared of if she followed directions and sought shelter during a raid. She said to me “I am scared of the dark David but I’m not scared of Herr Hitler!” #1940

I heard on the wireless that in one southern suburb of London, a German aircraft bombed the high street and as civilians were running to find shelter they were machine gunned. #1940

These Germans are ruthless when they get through our defences. I've been told that not only are they dropping bombs they are also machine gunning civilians on the ground at every opportunity. #1940

After a peaceful Saturday we had to deal with two large raids by the Germans yesterday. Nearby RAF Rochford was a target and it took several hits but thankfully, from what I understand, there were no casualties. #1940

Good morning #1940

After the somewhat frenetic bombing by the Germans on Thursday and Friday I’m pleased to say that it was all quiet yesterday. I sense the Germans are regrouping after losing a large number of planes during the week. #1940

Good morning. #1940

@WeeAlecJames I was teetotal during the season!

@DBNJack Aye Davy pal but we didn’t need an official partner to enjoy a drop or two!

Imagine if there such a thing as an official whisky partner when we were at the Arsenal @WeeAlecJames ? 🥃

We've got plenty of supplies of tinned food, tea, coffee and fruit in our bomb shelter now. Thank goodness for the plum trees in the garden. Mrs Jack has also made some fruit cake which won't go to waste! #1940

Here is the front page of today's Daily Express with all of yesterday's details. I don't quite understand why the Germans targeted Croydon. #1940

It is no longer a case of if the Germans will attack again, its when. I'm glad I was able to finish the extensions to our bomb shelter last weekend as we are spending more and more time in it. #1940

I paid a visit to the City yesterday as I have been approached by bank to do some work for them. I left London at 2pm & didn't make it home until 9pm because of chaos caused by the German attacks. #1940

The Germans bombed Tilbury and Northfleet in the early evening yesterday and sadly a number of people were killed and others injured. #1940

The Battle for Britain in the air is well and truly underway. There was a constant stream of German bombers heading into the Thames Estuary yesterday, more so than I'd seen since the war begun. #1940

Good morning. #1940

@hente_afsc Every night at the moment but thankfully no bombs (locally at least)

@DBNJack Morning DJ, any sirens last night?

Good morning. #1940
