Does this help? My father, resident at the time in Henley on Thames, UK, wrote the following entry in his diary for June 30th 1940: J. B. Priestley on Two Ton Annie: "Kindness, humour, and courage are mighty sustaining things", "Yes, a good people", "The last derence of liberal civilization", "All that we ask for is for and more commands for the garisson and then signing on in the streets". Written, of course, just after Dunkirk and while wating for the Germans to invade Britain. Text suggests to me there might have been a wireless (BBC?) programme called Two Ton Annie on which Priestley was broadcasting or being interviewed?
