I saw a thread just started up on the topic of the first female Navigation Cadets In Denholm's and Ellerman's
As far as I can find out the earlist in BP were a 1973 or possibly late 1972
Misses, VS Birtwhistle, A Rutherford, EAM Stroud and CR Thomlinson,
There are also some in 1974 and possibly later.
SJ Pollock ( NC) was also listed in a 1978 Fleet News and I have the feeling VS Birtwhistle reached at least 2nd Mate but cannot find the article.
Any comments, anyone meet them at sea? That must have been an 'interesting' time for the first few!
There were also Female Engineering Cadets, anyone remember any names?
