RAF Wing

RAF Wing opened in Buckinghamshire in 1941 as a Bomber Command operational training unit, where crews learned their trade on Vickers Wellingtons before joining front-line squadrons. In the closing weeks of the war it played a part in Operation Exodus, handling over a thousand flights that brought home tens of thousands of liberated prisoners of war. Flying ended in the 1950s, and the site is now farmland and a business park.
