Two women of the Women's Auxiliary Air Force (WAAF) at work on large balloons at the Balloon Centre in Sutton, Surrey. One of the women kneels down tying a knot, surrounded by numerous threads of fine rope, the other woman lying on her side looking on. They appear to be working inside one of the large balloons.
