About Me
editI am living in Germany with my British Army husband; I am a retired (but very young) Royal Air Force Officer - now a Learning Support Assistant and school librarian at a Service Children's Education primary school, and a mother. I have a keen interest in military history, particularly the role women have played and the Battle of Britain.
I was a contestant on the Mastermind 2008 series, with the first round Specialist Subject of Female Agents of the Special Operations Executive. See Mastermind episode on You Tube
