RE: 26 OTU (RAF Wing)
Hey Zippy,
Not much of a pic, but the best I can do. A 26 OTU Wellington at Wing
It fails to meet your request in one significant detail, judging by the underwing serials this is a post war picture.

RE: 26 OTU (RAF Wing)
Hi Zippy
Sorry about the confusion but I have seen many amateur postings with things like that on the board and just thought it was someone just starting out and had not grasped the full comprehension of how the RAF structure worked.
once again I apologise and now know you are a well versed member in the way of things RAF.
regards Merlin

RE: 26 OTU (RAF Wing)
Hi Zippy
26 OTU is not an airfield. OTU means Operational Training Unit.
The OTU could work from any number of airfields so if you find out where the OTU was based (ie. The name of the airfield – eg. Duxford Hendon Biggin Tangmere Drem Turnhouse East Fortune)
Then we might have a better chance of helping you.
also if you find the name of the airfield you can possibly order site plans of the place from the RAF museum.
regards Scott
