Too blumin right and it’s about time someone made ammends! It’s just a bit sad that the ground crew from the WW2 era are now probably a bit too old to start writing there memoires.

A member of ground crew!

Yes the folk I was with last weekend were all in their mid eighties…. a wireless mechanic, an air traffic control WAAF to name but two…. Just like their aircrew counterparts they are reluctant to say too much….. ( The WAAF said she lost too many friends, but ended up marrying a pilot)! They just want to enjoy their reunions so I do not press them too hard. Hence the fact that I wanted to read up a bit more before talking to them again.
