Here's a lovely survivor. A snakes-and-ladders style board game based around Air Raid Precautions - "A.R.P." The board covers all the various services likely to be involved in an air raid from wardens, ambulances, decontaminations and rescue, etc. The bomber on the cover appears to have been copied from the Fairey Hendon. Many thanks to Steve Crookes for the image.  Pre-War "A.R.P." Board Game
