Buster and L37,

Perhaps the lady who flew with her husband to the continent and Diana B-W were one and the same? I seem to recall something along those lines.

About six years ago, the magazine "Focus", which is a rag of the standard of RAF News, had a photo of Diana B-W attending an event wearing her ATA uniform. The magazine stated that she was a member of the ATS - the forerunner of the Womens' Royal Army Corps (WRAC) - and there was some guff about that.

I wrote to the editor and pointed out the error and, whilst he printed a correction, he didn't take up my offer to write piece about the ATA.
