#Wednesday #WomeninBritishIntel Constance 'Babs' Babington Smith (1912-2000) was a pioneer in photographic interpretation. During #WW2 she set up an aircraft interpretation section that became part of the Central Interpretation Unit based at RAF Medmenham. Constance was born on 15 October 1912. Her parents were Sir Henry Babington Smith & Lady Elizabeth. She was one of nine children. She had an avid interest in aircraft - note her hat! Before the war, she pursued a career in journalism writing for @BritishVogue & @HistoryInTheAir
