    Description: Flying Spitfires: Marjorie Rosser was conscripted into the Women’s Auxiliary Air Force in 1942. As a flight engineer 
at RAF Rednal, she prepared – and sometimes flew in – the training officers’ two-seater Spitfires. One morning she was alarmed to find a stowaway German POW hiding in a plane. Later, sharing a cup of cocoa with him, she had to concede: ‘He was the most gorgeous young man I ever saw in my life.’ (Herefordshire Lore/Marjorie Rosser) Reproduced by kind permission of Herefordshire Lore - www.herefordshirelore.org.uk
