Seems like it became an aircraft disposal sight - I see Spitfires, Tempests, Beaufighters, a Lancaster with its wings off, Halifax, Mosquitos and possibly even a Meteor. On the opposite side of the building is a scrapyard of mainly Beaufighter fuselages. All had to be towed up the road from Weston Aerodrome or down the road from the Banwell factory. |

These aircraft were for the trainees to train on. |
