Iwas seventeen when I joined the Waafs. I certainly didn't ask to be a plotter- no one had heard of them at that time. I was enroled as Clerk special duties and went to Gloucester and Compton Bassett first for training and then spent the rest of my time at Watnall Nr Nottingham. We worked 3 "watches",mornings afternoon and nights.I seem to remember liking nights best because we could have an hour or two to sleep, sneak out of camp, go for morning coffee, afternoon tea dance and then on to the evening dance at the Palais. We would then get back to camp, wash and maybe shut our eyes for half an hour ready for the night shift again. Where DID we get the energy? There were (I think) about twenty of us in Raf hut 9. Is it possible we got by without any arguments? I don't remember any.
Great Memories!
