Reasurch:Conversation with Frank Tolley.

Frank was a volunteer at the exhibition in the museum and he was a Lancaster bomber during the WW2 and he began telling us his story.

• In 1940 he was 19 years old and this was when he became a Lancaster bomber.
• I asked him if he remembered his first flight, and he did ad he remembers dropping the bombs., he said that he remembered looking out of the window and see all the houses and that when he dropped the bomb , his crew asked him to close the doors of the as there was a chill coming though. He also said that as he was bombing he was scared of breaking the 6th commandment in the bible- "thou shall not kill."
• He didn't really think about who he was killing when he was dropping the bomb, he didn't want it to haunt him. 
• Before he became a bomber , when he was very young he walked dogs for 2p and when he was slightly older 14 very bright , top of his class, He became a errand boy for a grousers 50p . But he was so embarrassed about his friends finding out that he used to hide behind bushes form them on his rounds.
• he is now around 94 years old and has just zip wired over the canal between the Imperial war museum and media city in Manchester and volunteers at the museum.
• he quotes on the war"Very hard, very tough, some of the raids were a bit scary , you weren't afraid but you just had to do it."
