It is on the site of an old WW2 airfield. During 1939-45, it was used as a Wellington OTU. Just outside the town, there is a small privatley run but intersting little museum containing bits and pieces of Wellingtons and memorabilia associated with the aircraft and its operations at Moreton.

Jasop – It’s the fire service training college where they train to deal with a wide range of situations. Included in this is I believe a very large oil rig platform.

I didn’t realise that they had so many aircraft on strength. What’s the reg’ of the Viscount?

If you’re in the vicinity of Moreton, pop into the Wellington museum.
