The Wellington Aviation Museum

The Wellington Aviation Museum is dedicated to those who trained as bomber crews on Wellington aircraft at RAF Moreton-in-Marsh, an airfield on the eastern outskirts of the town, during the Second World War.  The museum, which is located on the Evesham Road right on the edge of town, has hundreds if not thousands of artefacts and is well worth a visit.

As a footnote, RAF Moreton-in-Marsh is thought to have been the inspiration for "Much-Binding-in-the-Marsh", a comedy BBC Radio and Radio Luxembourg show broadcast from 1944 to 1954, which starred Kenneth Horne and Richard Murdoch as senior staff in a fictional RAF station battling red tape and wartime inconvenience.
