The NAAFI departed from RAF Waddington a few years ago but perhaps it is appropriate to remember the 7 NAAFI girls who were killed along with 4 servicemen when Waddington NAAFI was bombed on 9th May 1941. The dead included the Manageress of the NAAFI, Mrs Constance Raven: the Waddington NAAFI Club was named the Raven Club in her memory and the club still bears her name under new ownership. The photograph shows the damage to the NAAFI after the raid - the Ravens club is still housed in this building which it now shares with the Waddington Heritage Centre.
A plaque in the Ravens commemorates the event - the photograph next to it is of Renee (Irene) Woods who was killed at the age of 22.
