Place/Vessel: Biel Efeld

That is a poor transcription. It should read Bielefeld, which in the 1960s was the location of Headquarters 1st (British) Corps, as well as a number of logistics organisations. Since she was a civilian, she might have been working there as a teacher, for the NAAFI (who had a big headquarters in Bielefeld)  or one of the many welfare organisations such SSAFA (Soldiers, Sailors and Air Force Association), Salvation Army Red Shield clubs, Toc H etc.
