Framed Prints From Historic England
Framed Print of Members of the WAAF at the Derby Baths chp01_07_01_103
Members of the WAAF (Women's Auxiliary Air Force) in their bathing costumes, posed for the camera at the Derby Baths.
The RAF's No. 2 School of Photography was established in August 1940 to meet the rapidly increasing need for more photographers and photographic technicians to aid with aerial reconnaissance during the Second World War. The School was based at the Blackpool Technical College and Palatine Secondary School in Blackpool. Training of women at the School began in 1941.
Twice each week the WAAF trainees were transported to the Derby Swimming Baths for a swim.
This photograph is one of a set taken by Barnet Saidman, an RAF officer on the staff at the No. 2 School, and other colleagues, which was compiled into an album and presented to Squadron Leader W H Dunton, officer in charge of the No. 2 School. The album documents the training programme for the WAAF's at the No. 2 School, and is accompanied by written captions. The original album is held by the Defence School of Photography. A second set of prints was collected and presented within the album compiled by Knicky Chapman, who was herself on the staff at the No. 2 School.
