This snapshot was taken on Christmas morning 1944 outside the WAAF quarters at Petersfield House in Horning, Norfolk. These young women worked as radar operators, mechanics and plotters at the Neatishead GCI Station. By 1944 there were well over 100 WAAFs working at Neatishead.

A very interesting series, 80 years ago the threat of Luftwaffe bombers was much diminished, but the strikes of the new V1 and V2 weapons was soon felt and led to new developments in radar and air defence to try to meet this threat - which will feature in our new exhibition.
