FICTION (Based on real life experience) :
Synopsis - Up She Goes! and The Breighton Twins 30 Chapters
January 1942. At a London RAF recruiting office, three girls from
diverse backgrounds meet. Edie, a quick witted Cockney in her
early twenties, stunningly attractive with an obsession for
the opposite sex. Phyllis, a tall plain reserved girl in her
late twenties, an intense narrow minded bigot who, in her
spare time, teaches at the local Sunday School.
Lastly, bringing up the rear, Basher; a rather well endowed
seventeen year old, bursting to
break free from the strict upbringing of a Salvation Army
background. When she blurts out in a moment of panic that she
is under age, the recruiting officer allows her through, but
not without a warning that, she's on her own. Edie takes
Basher under her wing and uses devious methods to fraudulently
change Basher's documents.
Their first posting is to deepest Gloucestershire, where the
toilet facilities are primitive and conditions; Arctic. The
girls spend an uncomfortable first night and when Basher's
'biscuit' mattresses come apart and the cold air penetrates
the lower half of her body, Edie complains "It’s worse
than Stalag bleedin'
two!". But after surviving
many more uncomfortable nights all three become firm friends. |
