My word...........It's like a big monopoly board....but people are dying, and suffering, yet in this chaos these operators had to hold on to their wits and composure knowing the balance was on that board. The pilots had to depend on this fragile dance on the board. They do not called those folks the greatest generation for nothing...

... I'm American and I don't know if I could of sat there- I'd start crying. I hate NAZIs and I know I'm very lucky to have been born IN the U.S.A.- In the early 80's- and yet, every single damned time I know my life bad, THIS kind of room is what I think of, with various different types and motivations like each one of those good British women moving those sticks around on the map, as I start my day, or have an insane work shift or when I'm about to do college homework. With LOVE for the British, From an American, in the State of Arizona.

It's going to be totally meaningless to anyone who doesn't understand the context. If you had a kid and took them to watch a bunch of WWII movies, involving the RAF, they would probably be all over this, as they would realise all the blocks are units of planes. The kid is also positioned directly behind one of the women giving the demonstration and it looks like his head is so low (compared to the table) that he can not actually see anything they are moving around. He might not even be able to tell what part of the table is supposed to be France. If he was upstairs on a balcony looking down, he could see the things that the camera can see.

I couldn't understand the introduction. Is this supposed to be happening in Fighter Command HQ, Uxbridge, or is this a sector station in 11 Group? The actors all have their lines down cold. Also, who are the women talking to? Were all the sector stations hearing everything at the same time from Fighter Command HQ?

On the Bishop Otter campus of Chichester university. The room it was in (now has a lecture theatre above) had been the control room for the RAF fighters on the south coast, in the latter part of WW2.
