Worrals is fantastic! I do love her attitude to life, and I am so delighted with how well WEJ gets the sexism side of things: there are stories where the various male officers are ignoring or dismissing the WAAFs or other women, and Worrals uncovers what's going on and saves the day by taking them seriously and paying attention to them, it's nicely done.
My impression is that Worrals is at least upper-middle class, just from her general attitude to life. You could imagine that a year or two earlier she was at Malory Towers...
I haven't read the Worrals that aren't on Faded Page or republished, but I would guess from the outlines on the big Biggles fan website that they are less Worrals vs Nazis in Europe and more Worrals Around The World, with the consequent WEJ racism/colonialism. But I haven't read them, so I could be pleasantly surprised when I track them down.
