239296 Jessie Brooks Womens Auxiliary Air Force RAF Dyce from:Skegby, Notts My mother, Jessie Brooks, was stationed in RAF Dyce, Aberdeen in the Second World War. She would have been a naive young country girl who had never before ventured out of her village. She often told the story of having to make the frightening train journey on her own to Aberdeen. She was to serve this time as a RAF nurse. Whilst stationed there, she said it faced a lock down at one point when a high ranking German officer landed on the airfield. I cannot now remember his name but believe it started with an R. If anyone can remember or knows of my mother and this incident I would be happy to hear.
