Abstract: "Our hands were red and swollen with chilblains and we all had terrible colds and coughs, but we were extraordinarily happy." This is the story of a 19-year-old who joined the FANY then trained as a radar mechanic during the 1939-45 war. From 1943 Marjorie Inkster was a radar maintenance officer on London gun sites, including Hampstead, Primrose Hill and Mill Hill. The work entailed taking responsibility for a group of REME craftsmen and NCOs. Full of lively descriptions of the gun sites, the people working on them and in the Officers' Mess, of daily work practices, air-raids and the history of the fast development of army radar.
