M/S row of Naval officers behind desk in control centre answering phone and looking at books with pictures of planes and ships in. C/U Wren typists at work.

Various shots American airmen of USAF (United States Air Force) watching WAAF (Women's Auxiliary Air Force) girl painting skull and cross bones on side of bomber "Jolly Roger".

Various shots WAAFs in their barracks: ironing their enormous knickers, washing their stockings and wearing curlers.
