Downton RAF

Only a coupla weeks ago HERE and HERE I started jonesing for World War I stuff, thanks to my slavish obsession with Downton Abbey; now it appears the last surviving veteran has died:
Born in London before moving to Norfolk, Mrs Green was 17 years old when she joined the Women's Royal Air Force (WRAF) on 13 September 1918 - two months before the armistice. 
Mrs Green worked as a waitress on RAF bases in Norfolk. She left on 18 July 1919.
