Graeme Rendall returns to tell us the story behind the airfield at RAF Morpeth.  In World War Two, RAF Morpeth was extremely important to Bomber and Coastal Commands, as the station was home to an Air Gunners School which trained airmen how to shoot effectively whilst in mid-air. Trained gunners were constantly in demand and often in short supply. Many of the pilots of the training aircraft based at Morpeth were from other Allied nations and Graeme gives us a really interesting view of operations at the airfield.  Post-war, like many airfields, it lost its status and faded away with only relics remaining today. Graeme also gives us an insight to his other three Northumberland airfield books, from air crashes to storage facilities.
