Staying outside the city, Wilf and his family were spared when, on Christmas morning, a replica of the Titanic crashed into Buckingham Palace, obliterating London.
The lingering radiation left by the impact forced their evacuation to Leeds, where they had to share a house with other families. Wilfred adjusted to this life, making do with "wartime spirit". He became friends with Rocco Colasanto and was first to join in with the other families singing sea shanties. He was mournful when all non-English residents were forcibly deported to "labour camps", noting this had happened before in his life.
