Cpl. Annie Rothwell Hamer
Womens Auxiliary Air Force
from:Bolton
Anne Hamer moved to Honeybourne where a Canadian air crew were based. Here they had to have bikes and had to travel a few miles to mess. She was a driver and the role was taking crews to get their parachute, to the control tower, then to dispersal point, and then this sequence in reverse. These were long twelve hour days. She was stationed here when the war finished in 1945.
At Honeybourne there were always plane crashes due to the fact that it was in a valley and the planes used to crash into the trees on the hills. Anne had to go out to one where there were bodies in the trees, they used to know all the men because they would take them out to all the planes.
