Comfychair - Schoolboy in Wartime Penzance

On the 70th anniversary of the start of the Second World War, I share with you a record of a school (Devonport High School Plymouth) visit (evacuation?) to Penzance. Explorations, mishaps, encounters, archeology, planes, ships and bicycles! Plus a record of the Air Raids and bombing in Plymouth.
