In this second episode about the history of Kington Langley in north Wiltshire, we remember the effect the Second World War had on the village. Interviews are with Betty Bird and Phillip Bird. The podcast also contains excepts from interviews conducted with villagers back in 1989. Many thanks to Joanna White for lending me lots of reference material and to my daughter Alexandra for the readings. Music is composed by me, Adrian Beeby -- with apologies to Glen Miller. Hope you enjoy the podcast.
