A Woman Operating a Radio, 1940. Britain during the Second World War: monitoring German bombing raids. '"Eighty plus [enemy aircraft], assembling over areas Amiens, Abbeville. A further sixty plus, vicinity of Dieppe. Control advised". First radar reports tend toward the probability of the targets being fighter airfields east and southeast of London. In other words, to Control, it looks the same as it did this morning. But too early to judge. Could be London itself. "All available squadrons at readiness. Let's hear from the Observer Corps as soon as possible".' From "Time To Remember - Standing Alone", 1940 (Reel 3); documentary film about events of later months of 1940.
