Former Royal Air Force Policeman Ken Wright also fell victim to a ‘witch hunt’ against LGBT people while he was serving in the military.
Vito said: ‘When I went for counseling to help me through, the counsellor recognised that I’d had Post Traumatic Stress Disorder from the previous loss of my career and my lifestyle there.
By March 1990, the pressure of hiding his sexuality became too much for Ken, and he admitted he was gay to the station medical officer.
Speaking about her experience, Vito, now 81, told Metro: ‘I was absolutely horrified and devastated.
Vito and other gay Wrens were forced into a life of secrecy, hiding their relationships and parties for years.
