Plot room
Plotters operated an early form of air traffic control that played a vital role in World War II, particularly during the Battle of Britain, The Blitz and the bombing of British cities that followed. They worked at large table top sized maps of Southern England, plotting course and position of enemy aircraft as reports were received by telephone. The majority of plotters were female, members of the Women's Auxiliary Air Force
