Margaret Jackson . Womens Auxiliary Air Force Balloon Command
My mother, Margaret Jackson was a telephonist in the WAAF, Balloon Command. I know she was at Falmouth on D-Day, which was also her 21st birthday. She served in a number of places. She wore one of `Mrs Roosevelt's dresses' when she and Dad married in September 1944.
I was born in 1947 and remember the aerodrome at Breighton still being operational. Our house adjoined it and I was taken from my bed (being sick with measles) to see, and sit on the wing of, a Spitfire. We witnessed the gradual shutting down of the base until it was left as a wonderful playground for the village children. I didn't know what a tennis court was and thought the big mesh enclosure was where the POWs were kept!
If anyone remembers my mother, please get in touch.

My paternal grandfather was Capt. Michael Jackson of the 1st Searchlight Regiment, Royal Artillery who was killed in action during WW2 on 25th Feb 1945 age 32 and is buried in Schoonselhof Cemetery, Belgium. All I know is from my father that he was blown up whilst stationed at or in a castle in Belgium and his body was found floating in the castle moat. From preliminary internet searches I understand that his regiment was deployed to Brasschaat and he was killed by a V1 rocket.
