ATS training

[David_Hayward (RIP)]

Note the flutes on the bonnet!

No. 1 MT Co* consisted apparently of FANY members who carried patches on their ATS-style uniforms: “Women’s Transport Service FANY”, as depicted in a photo I have with a L/cpl instructor. It seems that the FANY personnel attached to the ATS were full members of the ATS, yet it seems an anomlay post-April 1941 when the ATS were given equal military status with men's services, yet FANY was civilian. It would appear that FANY members in the ATS became ATS personnel but retained their FANY loyalties, etc.


*At some stage there was another Training Centre set up in Edinburgh apparently.
