I remember the views from the roof of Princes House, Brighton (The Argus, February 19).
During the war, my older sister, Joyce, then aged 17 or 18, worked for the Inland Revenue, whose offices were in the building.
One summer Saturday in 1942 or 1943, she was on her fire-watching duty and I cycled from our home in Hove with a picnic lunch.
We were sunning ourselves on the roof when the air-raid siren sounded and we saw two aeroplanes coming in low over the sea towards Kemp Town.
Uncertain what to do, Joyce pressed the alarm bell, which brought all the other fire-watchers in the building on to the roof to look for the fire.
I suppose this was one of the "hit and run" raids we used to get.
