How did Frances Gillard (nee Howard) meet Haydn L Phillips

Question

Frances was born in Winchester (1911)  and lost her father, Frank Howard when she was 11years old, her mother never remarried; At age 21 she married "James Gillard" and in 1934 she went to Steepholme in the Bristol Channel with him and her brother and an adopted daughter, Patricia;  They soon moved back to Winchester where , in 1939 , she was recorded as living on Romsey Rd. In 1940 she spent 9 months in the WRAF at RAF High Wycombe before a discharge on compassionate grounds. ( All above well documented)

Now the question is where and when did she meet Haydn Llewellyn Phillips, a BBC engineer based in Exeter/Plymouth during the WW2 period?  Family pictures record them at various South-West resorts in 1942 onwards and as their first child I was conceived Jan 1943 and born in Exeter.  It was never spoken of so a slice of family history awaiting recovery.

Answer 1

To my knowledge BBC Engineers do travel to take care of things and do repairs when needed, is it possible that they met when he was fixing something in the area she lived in?  Perhaps he was in her area for awhile.

Comments

True;  He was a Sound and TV studio engineer during the time I was growing up, but he had extensive knowledge of electronics so could have been a Field/OB engineer before that.  Prior to joining the BBC (year?) he worked on the Taff Vale Railway (age 15), married (~1921), and became a regional sales-man/installer for gramophones in SW England and a violinist & cellist, as was his wife (Hilda Winifred Griffiths). I have photos of them with cellos. There are 1930's adverts for a shop in Plymouth that sold radios,etc, and the owner was a Phillips, but I've not found any details as to when it was started/closed but it's present use as a premises is well documented for recent years. Some newspaper clips suggest he/wife may have awarded Certs/medals at Music competitions in the SW around the 1930's, and he was charged with a "black-out" offence in the WW2 period and fined for showing a light.
