The ladies of the ATA, fascinating, but a very peripheral part of the RAF, featured too much.
You do realise that it is now apparently illegal to mention the ATA without giving the impression that it was exclusively "manned" by women, when in fact only around one in eight of its pilots were female? Same goes with press photos of ceremonial units such as the King's Troop, RHA, the foot guards etc, which unless they prominently feature a woman soldier will not be printed.

May have been understandable when women in uniform were a novelty but it gets tiresome after a while. I know I do bang on about this, but what is PPRuNe for if not "banging on"?
