Wedding - Josephine and William Johanson |
The Royal Air Force was founded 100 years ago today! My mother, the late Josephine Johanson, enlisted in the Women’s Royal Air Force during the Second World War and served as a Radio Telephony Operator at a Receiving/Transmission Station, giving pilots on active duty bearings for home. During that time she met my father, the late William Johanson, an Aircraft Instrument Repairer serving in the Royal Australian Air Force.
I touch on this
little piece of my family history in “The Scottish Connection: A Journey”, my illustrated
mini-memoir of my 1978 journey back to Scotland with my mother and young
sons, to revisit our Scottish roots.
