Sighting under a Bridge

In December 1942 Mrs B. McDougall was serving in the Wom en’s Auxilliary Air Force and, together with two colleagues, arrived at Abingdon Station on her way to the nearby RAF base. They were walking, having missed their transport, and took a few minutes to shelter under a bridge near the river. Mrs McDougall believes that at that moment she found herself amongst Wat Tyler’s ‘Peasants’ Revolt’ of the fourteenth century: she was pressed into a crowd of people hurrying under the bridge. Mrs McDougall felt hot, and could feel the heat and sweat of people pressing close to her. Their clothes were rough and course; her heart was beating hard from the fright. Coming out from under the bridge she suddenly found herself back in her own time, the dislocation being just a few seconds long.
