"We discovered why when we received a discreet invitation to a very exclusive type of party - for which this station was famous for! We didn't attend and Mrs W had heard what went on at these events"
One of those
events, Dan?
When I was holding at RAF Biggin Hill after my pre-Vulcan Buccaneer lead-in course
, one of the single living-in WRAF officers was going out with an unmarried officer. Nothing wrong with that, one would have thought. Yet unbelievably this was the era when such things were frowned upon - one was not supposed to show any interest in officers on one's own station....
So they would have to make clandestine arrangements to meet up off-base to avoid the gaze (and displeasure) of the Queen Bee.....
Mind you, what the Queen Bee
didn't know was that the fresh supply of moist young chopped Fighter Controllerettes we'd get every few weeks was made to feel
particularly welcome....
