WAAF stands for Womens Auxilliary Air Force. In the battle of Britain movie of 1969 they're the girls who're placing the plots on boards. Susannah York, the blonde actress, plays a high ranking one. They were probably the only women on the airfield when pilots were on duty.

Thanks JaVA_Sharp Yes, the WAAF's certainly kept the pilots eyes occupied when stood down

About the sig: This is from Jeffrey Watson's biography on Clive Caldwell, Australia's greatest fighter pilot.

Barely a year before Japan's attack on Pearl Harbour, the Australian Government had tried to place an order for Japanese combat aircraft to replace it's ageing fleet - in Nov. 1940, Britain and the US weren't in a position to supply ANY aircraft to Australia - and Japan at the time was importing a lot of iron ore from here. The agreed price for the 40 zeros was valued at 500,000 pounds (Aust.), but the exchange was going to take place in export products (ie. different types of iron/steel).

It was because of this that Australia's Prime Minister at the time (Bob Menzies) received the name "Pig Iron Bob"

Anyway off topic, but an interesting "what if"...
