There does seem to be a bit of disagreement about the "having to leave on marriage" aspect?
No doubt the rules and regs will have changed since I left the RAF in 1978, but this is my recollection:-
When I arrived at RAF Strubby in 1971, there was a single WRAF Plt Off ATCO who did not have to leave after subsequently marrying a RAF Navigator stationed elsewhere. I can still remember her surnames, pre and post marriage. Approaching tourex, she was eventually posted to RAF West Raynham to be nearer to her husband. I also recall that she had more than a passing resemblance to Liza Minnelli !
