RAF's No. 2 School of Photography

A group of women from the Women's Auxiliary Air Force, in military uniform, posed with their cameras outside the No. 2 School of Photography. The RAF's No. 2 School of Photography was established in August 1940 to meet the rapidly increasing need for more photographers and photographic technicians to aid with aerial reconnaissance during the Second World War. The School was based at the Blackpool Technical College and Palatine Secondary School in Blackpool. Training of women at the School began in 1941. This photograph shows a group of recruits at the beginning of their training at the No. 2 School
