In 1941 the Air Ministry decided to set up a WAAF Police Force to protect and deal with problems arising from the large increase in WAAF personnel. My sister and I decided that we would apply and re-muster to this new service. We wanted to get together and felt sure we would be accepted because our father was a Police Officer. We attended interviews at different times and we were both accepted. We didn鈥檛 attend the same course, my sister being on a course some time later.

I was posted to RAF Uxbridge for an intensive course in discipline and law, physical fitness and unarmed combat. On completion of the course and passing the examinations, I was posted to a police unit in the South of England and operated from there in plain clothes on security matters and special investigation branch activities.

At one time we were involved in codes and ciphers, it was most boring work and none of us could understand what it was about. Many months later I learned that it was out-work from the Enigma project at Bletchley Park. Whew! What a surprise!
