OK. Southern Radar, RAF Sopley, mid- to late-60s. The Unit was staffed with a large number of Local Service WRAF, including ATC Assistants. It appears that a telephone call to the Allocator [or was it the Supervisor?] would result in another call to the WRAF Block, from where one of the WRAF would hop into a car and head into Bournemouth for a 'lucrative assignation'.

The fallout apparently included a new CO, several other postings [and I assume disciplinary action] ... and a rumour that only ugly WRAF would be posted there. By the time I attended the Course at the beginning of 1970, normality had been restored.
