    Finished dimensions are 

    Length  40 3/4 inches  or 1035 mm

    Width  6 1/32 inches  or 153 mm

    Height   27 15/16  or 710 mm

     

    The odd values are because the original measurements are given in metric

    7 inches shy of 4ft, I think you need to find her a room of her own!😏 I thought Winchelsea was big at 38 inches and she's not going to be rigged.

    I've been reading some novels of the Peninsular War of the early 1800s. Wellington versus Napoleon's marshals.

    One of my favourite periods, if you haven't already read them I can recommend Bernard Cornwell's Sharpe series and C.S Forester's Death to the French and The Gun

    EG even subconsciously through novels I  still struggle,   I'm great with pointless info but for anything else I have to have in front of me

    That my friend would be a WAAF, stands for Women's Auxiliary Air Force.... Your mossie dates this to '43-'44 correct? which means by the uniform she is wearing she is either a warrant officer or a flight officer. The skirt sets it off as an officer uniform. If she was an enlisted rank like a flight sergeant she would be wearing dungarees at the field...

     

    So at the very least she is the driver for the officer, a section officer or assistant sec.off...... With the clipboard I would say assistant section officer, (rank equivalent to an acting pilot officer in the RAF) and she was driving the jeep......

    EG how do you recall all the info? I read alot of history ref books but struggle to remember the facts I read.
