Was it Mom´s secret love?
I just don´t know
I guess I will never get to hear about the real love there
All I know was that it was something about a wartime Pilot
A secret that she kept
From times when nylon stockings cost a fortune
Girls would perm their hair
All I know is that she did have a secret love
A love from those wartime years
She never mentioned his name ever
Then I never really used to think much about it
Times were really tough then
She had to work in factories long long hours
I suppose it must have been her dream
Her dream to marry that guy
She would do her hair and wear lipstick
Mom, had beautiful legs and face
She was an English Rose fair.
This is based on a real story but I never got to the bottom of it.
It was in times when going out with a Aircraft Pilot was something most girls could only seem to think about.
I guess a lot of it was admiration for the bravery and all those kind of things.
A lot of Americans were based up and down Great Britain at that time and they caused quite a stir wherever they went.
Again this is not about who was right or wrong its about the girls who lived through those times and had a pretty rough time I know because I was always hearing those kind of hardship stories, food rationing and even after the war was over there was still food rationing going on in some kind of form or another.
Gorgeous Cliff Robertson in the film of Squadron 633 was adorable okay so its only in the film and the views of England and other places was spectacular and just imagine they did not have the photography stuff they have now either.
I sometimes wonder who that guy was and I could easily see why he would fall for her.
I don´t have an actual photo of what she looked then they got taken away from me long story that best left unsaid.

Lovely story Di., and one of my nieces married an R.A.F. Pilot from Cosford but it did not last that one.
Glad they led a happy life too.

I am not sure you know the Pilots now are not the same as what they were then.
But he is handsome that is for sure.

@lovinangelsinstead21 Sorry your niece’s marriage didn’t last. It wasn’t meant to be.

Some kind of love she had for a guy back then.
I don´t know if it would have been for the best or not she never hardly spoke about things like that.

She had a strict upbringing so that was her nature.
