When I arrived on 56 at Wattisham, in the 'sqn museum' along with Albert Ball's uniform (Bill Rosie had already searched the pockets for any loose change!), I was a bit surprised to find a WRAF uniform, plus lacey black bra and full 'webbing'. I just had to find the answer to this mystery..
It seems that the previous TrgOFF had donated an....err, 'inflatable lady' to the sqn for 'use' on APC dets etc. So the boys used to spirit it on to the Herc or '10, inflate it and dress it up, then sneak it away and deflate it after the head count to confuse the muppets and loadies......
Shame - I thought that perhaps the uniform and, more especially, the webbing had been acquired at some scene of wanton depravity.....
