Garth Barnard joins us to talk about his work cataloguing Bomber Command OTUs during WWII around central England. 

Aerodromes such as RAF Barford St John, RAF Bicester, RAF Chipping Warden, RAF Croughton, RAF Finmere, RAF Hinton-in-the-Hedges, RAF Silverstone, RAF Turweston and RAF Upper Heyford.

Training crews flew aircraft such as the Hampden, Blenheim, Wellington, Mosquito and Boston.  Sadly, there were over 400 aircraft losses within a 15-mile radius of Brackley.
