Re: FANY
Many moons ago I went to an event where there was a bloke there who invented the suitcase radio set (SOE) and with him was a real old FANY and they were chatting away, as I was in uniform I butted in and it turned out that when this bloke was in France the old girl was in contact back over here, I've got a cracking pic of the three of us, top people they were,

Re: FANY
God knows, met a couple of their very charming ladies at a dinner the other night and one of our soldiers is married to one, but I couldn't get a straight answer out of them.
No, its not that big and I have no idea how it works.

Re: FANY
Not quite.
They are an annommily (spullunk) but can (and have been mobilised for Telic) but are not formally TA."Be an example to your men, in your duty and in private life. Never spare yourself, and let the troops see that you don't in your endurance of fatigue and privation. Always be tactful and well-mannered and teach your subordinates to do the same. Avoid excessive sharpness or harshness of voice, which usually indicates the man who has shortcomings of his own to hide."
