FLIGHT OF DECISION [Main Title]

A WRAF officer, flying home from Singapore at the end of her short-service commission, recalls incidents in her career while trying to reach a decision on whether to take up a permanent commission.

The incidents recalled in her work, first in a 'personnel management' role at a Technical Command station, then in the technical administration (supplies) of a fighter station, and finally as assistant adjutant at Changi, illustrate the sort of work open to WRAF officers, a representative pattern of promotion and movement even in a short-service commission, and the social and recreational aspects of off-duty life. The incidents also each examine one of 3 aspects of personal relationships in the services: the need for active concern for those under one's command; the need for understanding with colleagues; and the problem of tension (in this case male prejudice and apparent ingratitude) with a superior officer. The film does not explicitly say what decision the officer reaches.
