    Thanks much for your time in producing this video for us. This is only the 2nd video that I have seen of yours, so I am a newby. I really enjoyed the video. My dad was in WW2 & landed in France. He rode in many of those Willey's jeep's. Have a great day! Cheers!! Illinois, USA

    Hi John, I think the air base was used as a borstal and then a prison after the war,

    I’ve cycled past there countless times & didn’t know it was a museum, so wonder if it’s a recent thing. I think you will find the actual base was on the land across the road. Where the industrial site is. In Pollington, if you had taken the left turn to Heck, just before the sports fields, it’s up there. I believe, although not seen it, there is a memorial to the base & staff.
    From the M62, you could still identify the hangers, although not sure if they are still standing.

      @martinowl Thanks for that I will go and explore. The museum has opened recently in the Land Army building.

      Just looked on google maps. Looks like the hangars have been demolished but can clearly see where the runways were.
