Described recently by a South African visitor "As a collection of Royal Airforce Jewels".

So what's so special ? - at a glace it is only a one room and no aircraft museum (if you want to upset Gerry, walk in and ask if this is it !). But for the genuine enthusiast it takes two to three hours to examine the exhibits and digest all the information concerning the nearby Royal Air Force station, it's aircraft, it's personel and it's past history.

It is the only museum in the village and contains many items of past military history of the area apart from just the air station.

Gerry Tyack was born within the village boundary, joined the LDV (home guard to the uninitiated) before leaving to join the RAF and live a lie all five years of his service life.

Leamington Spa's brilliant aviation artist Ken Aitken has put pen to paper to record many forgotten items of history such as the territorial 'Ack Ack' camp, its' area now occupied by the local library.

Not forgetting the American 'Super 6th', who occupied the whole of the village square with their Sherman tanks before departing for Normandy in 1944.

Moreton-in-Marsh was put firmly on the world map by it's Royal Air Force station, many ex-personnel both home and overseas call today seeking information on fathers, uncles and other relatives who served on the station almost sixty years ago.

Rare emblems with text of the four exclusive clubs formed for aircrew members during WWII, The Guinea Pig Club, The Goldfish Club, The Late Arrivals Club and The Caterpillar Club, are all contained in the museum.

Sir Roy Feddon never adequately recognised for his part in our victory during WWII, was responsible for the 'Sleeve Valve' radials of which both Hercules and Centaurus were finally produced in vast numbers.

A sectioned Hercules is on exhibition, and is much admired by visitors for it's engineering qualities. Only aircrew members can vouch for the Hercules reliability qualities in service with many aircraft types, including the Wellington, the Lancaster, the Halifax and the Beaufighter.

Barnes Wallis, another brilliant engineer was to put his brainchild, 'The Geodetic Structure' into the design of the Wellington. The tail section of an ex-Lossiemouth OTU Wellington aircraft is also contained within the museum.

Other items which still continue to surface locally include two Wellington main wheels complete with tyres. One of which was found bricked-up under the stairway of a local barn, and had not seen the light of day for 53 years.

Even light hearted items, such as a 'movement order' for an expedition to the local pub by instructors at 21 OTU.
