where was that film of the wartime women working in engineering taken ?

[@grays257]

Probably wartime propaganda films, a lot were made during the war to boost the morale of the population. Just like the cardboard tanks lined up in fields in kent prior to the D Day landings.

Hi there, those clips were taken from British Council archives so sadly we can't say for definite exactly which works they were filmed at

[@sharonedwards6641]

Those ladies from Eastleigh in 1941 are going to be nearing their century at least!

Born 1925. Banging panels on CP aged 16 1941. Now 98/9 years old. How many women in the last Census would fit these criteria? Go for photos. Hit the major archives if not already done. There may always be the one in a million chance of a result. I hope so. The old thousand words adage is never more true than in circumstances such as this. I have no photos of my Grandmother taken during the time from my birth in 1947 to her death in 1973. Thanks to other agencies however, I do have a poignant and powerful image of her aged 8 in 2904, when taken up for adoption. That's how powerful the celluloid image is...
