Britain's What's On Event Guide
In Focus: The Flying Nightingales 80 Years on from D-Day
Last day to see this exhibition 19/12/2024
Through this new exhibition, we mark the anniversary by exploring a group of women who worked during the invasion and that have been relatively forgotten – The Flying Nightingales.
The Flying Nightingales were a group of women who worked in the Women’s Auxiliary Air Force (WAAF). Many had nursing backgrounds and were working as orderlies, helping to move supplies and servicemen across the country. During the planning for D-Day and the Normandy invasion they were asked if they would go one step further and travel into the scenes of the battles to assist with the evacuation of casualties.
Come and find out more about these remarkable women.
In addition to these incredible stories, view never before seen objects and artifacts from this time. Discover the tunic worn by Corporal Phyllis Bull, a Dakota cockpit gauge from an air ambulance, and so much more.
