Women in the RAF

Listen on

Episode notes

In this opening instalment we examine the roles that women play within the RAF and the opportunities available to female recruits. We hear accounts from parents on what it’s like to raise a family whilst serving your country, and we hear about the support that is offered to women in the RAF. We also speak with our special guest Air Commodore (now Air Vice Marshall) Suraya Marshall about her ground-breaking career, becoming the first woman to command one of the RAF's two operational groups.
