July 2nd 1940

Rumoured that some paratroopers were dropped pretty near yesterday - one was caught apparently and one or two are still at large, somewhere near Huntercombe. A few days before this there was a scare from Waddington that eight had seen to drop during the late afternoon, but no one could trace anything of them and general opinion seemed to be "just a panic by a farmer and his boy".
