We didn’t particularly care for the khaki uniform and we decided not to join the army so we looked at the women’s navy. The thing that put us off was the black stockings. If they’d been silk stockings it would have been great, but they were these black cotton stockings. So that put us off. So we joined the air force, British Air Force and we figured that the air force blue would go with the colour of our eyes. I think it was about 1944, we had a lot of Canadian girls come over. Oh, we were so jealous of them. Their uniforms were terrific, especially their hats. Ours looked like flat, squashed pancakes. Oh, they looked great.
