RAF Weston Zoyland stood on the Somerset Levels near Bridgwater and was a flying field from 1925. During the war it was an army-cooperation and gunnery-training station, flying Westland Lysanders and North American Mustangs, and was also used by a USAAF troop-carrier group; jet training followed in the 1950s. The A372 road now runs along most of the main runway, and limited flying has resumed nearby at Middlezoy.
