The flying Magic Carpet of the Arabian Nights has nothing on the Anderson shelter you see

The flying Magic Carpet of the Arabian Nights has nothing on the Anderson shelter you see battered and bent, but still taking it, in the picture. In the blast of an explosion of huge bomb in the Gidea Park area of a London the shelter went sailing through the air, to descend part of the way down the crater left by the bomb. Inside the shelter were three people. When the shelter came to earth again, they staggered out. Unhurt, but in what had been somebody elseOs garden. 22nd September 1940
