Refuelling Aircraft
Heroes Remember
Well 7 o’clock, there was four of us girls that had refuelling
tenders. We used to pick them up in the garage and, of course,
they’re all ready to get in and go out because when we finish
for the day we always had to back it in between these two pillars
In case there was a fire they could just push it out of the
garage. And they were big refuelling tenders and then we were
all had certain hangars, there was six hangars there and we each
had a hangar and I refuelled Ansons, Lysanders, Harvards and
Boeing Boats (sp) and it was very difficult when there was
snow and ice underneath so your big truck was full of fuel that
you didn’t slip into the wings. And you had to watch the control
tower, where they were coming in at because as the wind
changed they would come at a different angle so we would
have to go down the tarmac a certain way.
