Our good friend Dragartist recently sent me a copy of the Air Reserve Gazette dated June 1947. Inside was a double page spread that I thought other Members (especially BEagle) might appreciate :ok:

Just for background ... The ARG was the forerunner to Air Pictorial which then became Aviation News.

I particularly liked the pic of the 'First Woman Refuelling Operator' ... a Miss W. B. Greest. Clearly her Refuelling Desk was very spartan back then compared with the Voyager of today (see below).

A pictorial curiosity really showing how far the art of AAR has progressed over the last 67 years (yes, I do appreciate there were earlier experiments).
Best regards ...
