Where Walrus crews found wire for improvised repairs

How did Royal Navy crews obtain bra wire for repairs while operating at sea?

Accounts usually point to WRNS-staffed shore stations, where crews could obtain wire of a grade useful for improvised repairs.

A humorous question about bra wire becomes a concrete example of improvised naval maintenance. Surviving accounts usually point to shore stations staffed by members of the Women's Royal Naval Service. Those establishments provided access to wire of a suitable grade for small repairs when crews needed it. The Walrus's high availability depended on its rugged design, ordinary materials, and shore personnel who kept the aircraft working.
