Perhaps the most enduring image of Teesside during the Second World War is the bombing of Middlesbrough railway station.
It was on August 3 1942 that a lone Luftwaffe Dornier Do 217 evaded British air defences, took aim at the Victorian glass and steel structure below, and dropped a single bomb, killing eight railway workers and civilians.
Now, James Henwood, 82, has told how he could be the last man alive, who lived to tell the tale.
" August 3 1942 - Bank Holiday. If I could paint, I would get every detail, " said James, " Its so vivid."
