SOURCE OF QUOTATION
Nevil Shute Norway, novelist and aeronautical
engineer, worked for the Airship Guarantee Company between World War I and II.
He was a member of the team that developed the
first R100, a British airship that was intended for commercial use on British Empire routes as part of the Imperial Airship
Scheme. The airship’s construction
took place at the RNAS Air Station Howden
which had its base at a remote location three miles from Howden.
Shute met with some criticism when he, in 1954, wrote in his autobiography, Slide Rule:
Autobiography of an Engineer:
"The lads were what one would
expect, straight from the plough, but the girls were
an eye-opener. They were brutish and uncouth, filthy
in appearance and in habits. … I can only record the fact that these
girls straight off the farms were the lowest types that I have ever seen in
England, and incredibly foul-mouthed."
