Portrait of Captain Lilian Lewis in her WAAF uniform, sitting at the edge of the lake in the grounds of RAF Iver Heath, Pinewood Studios, Buckinghamshire, 1942-43. Lilian Lewis also served as a WAAF at the RAF's Film Production Unit at Pinewood Studios during the Second World War. She trained at the RAF's No. 2 School of Photography in Blackpool. Pinewood Studios - or RAF Iver Heath - was used as the base during the Second World War for the Royal Air Force Film Production Unit, the Crown Film Unit, and the Army Film and Photographic Unit. The studios were used to produce both films advocating the role of the armed forces in the war, and documentary films, recording the progress of the war. Dorothy 'Knicky' Chapman was posted to Pinewood Studios to serve as a WAAF with the RAF's Film Production Unit, working in the Stills Department. This photograph is one of a set compiled by Chapman, which document her time at Pinewood Studios. It is not clear which of the photographs in the set were taken by Chapman.
