RAF Needs Women
Women will make RAF fighting units stronger because of their "emotional intelligence", its head of recruiting has said.
On Friday it became the first military service to open all roles to both men and women, following the lifting of a Government ban on women in close combat roles.
Women can now apply to join the RAF's ground-fighting force, which is deployed to protect bases and airfields across the world, and has previously sustained casualties in Afghanistan.
Group captain Wendy Rothery, head of RAF recruiting and selection, told the Daily Telegraph that the change would strengthen the force.
This is a great endorsement for women in a time when the gender pay gap is under discussion.
