"All the other girls had gone to the shelters, but Joyce just put on a tin hat and went on work- ing.

"The management sent me a nice letter," said Joyce, "and my boy, a corporal in the R.A.F., was very pleased."

He Knew Then

As the pilots toured the factory bays, asking questions and seeing how the 10,000 parts of a Spitfire were made, the workers glanced admiringly at the medal ribbons they worse.

One worker looked intently at a newspaper cutting.

Suddenly he put a piece of metal down and walked up and saluted Pilot. Officer Stephen, Then he held out his hand and said: "It's an honour to hreet you, Sir"

At another bench the two pilots paused to watch a workņian put- ting rivets into the leading edge

of a wing.

"Have a go yourself." said the worker, handing over the elec- tric riveter. Stephen tried his hand at the job.

"This thing goes too fast for me, he said.

The pilot put in a dozen rivets and said he hoperl he would not have to fly that plane.
