Pleasure.
To be honest I am none too sure, although I would have thought that Waafs would have been subject to movement during their service.
My grandmother was in Coastal Command and saw service at 2/3 different stations in the UK over 3 years.
My great aunt spent all her time at one Bomber Command OTU base.
I would imagine their experiences were fairly common and they went where required.

A book by Patrick Bishop , 'Air Force Blue', mentions Waaf pregnancies and how they were admitted to an RAF maternity home
and most of the babies unfortunately given for adoption.
It is only a brief mention, but I would imagine in wartime an issue that was fairly common and would have led to postings in to cover.
