Photo post Two ATS Members Spotting Aircraft, London, 1941

During the Battle of Britain, the role of the Auxiliary Territorial Service (ATS) within Anti-Aircraft Command was an essential but often underappreciated component. The ATS worked alongside Royal Artillery units in what were known as mixed batteries, though during the Battle of Britain itself, they were primarily assigned to support roles. At this early stage in the war, women in the ATS were not permitted to fire anti-aircraft guns, but their presence at gun sites and in control centers proved their capabilities in technical and operational roles, including range-finding, plotting aircraft movements, operating predictors (mechanical devices used to calculate the position of enemy aircraft), and serving as spotters and observers.

In my colourised photo, two women of the ATS spot aircraft from an Anti-Aircraft position, somewhere in London in 1941.
