Early next morning, Lucy and the other American girls were ready and waiting to be taken to the No. 6 ferry pool at Ratcliffe, near Leicester. They were now all eager to get on with the job.

‘Do you know who’s taking us?’ Pat asked Lucy.

‘No, it would probably have been Rob …’ Her words tailed off.

‘He seemed like a great guy.’ Pat glanced around. The airfield was buzzing with activity. Pilots were leaving to pick up their first ferry of the day, and various planes were taking off and landing. ‘But everyone’s just getting on with the job. I sure admire that. It’s something we’ve all got to learn to do if we’re going to win this war.’

‘We’ll win.’ Lucy was adamant. ‘It’s going to be a long, hard struggle, but at least we’ll be doing something to help. Who would have thought women would get the chance to fly operational aircraft during a war!’

‘Yeah, this organisation is quite something.’ Pat nodded with satisfaction. ‘I think I’m going to like it here.’

‘Me too.’ Lucy watched Simon walk towards them and felt a warm glow of pleasure. He was one lovely man. She just adored his quiet sense of humour and air of calm efficiency. He was someone she felt you could lean on in difficult times.

‘Ready, ladies? Number 6 ferry pool is awaiting your arrival with anticipation.’

That caused a laugh as they followed him out to the Anson.
