The second Bellman Hangar.
Between May 1940 and May 1945 RAF Warmwell was taken over by No.10 Group Fighter Command. There were several Luftwaffe raids during the Battle of Britain and through to spring 1941. 152 and 609 Squadrons were the principle squadrons flying Spitfires from the airfield during the Battle of Britain but many other squadrons visited the airfield over its operational life, flying a variety of planes including Hurricanes, Whirlwinds, Walruses and Typhoons. (The Spitfire suspended from the ceiling of the Science Museum in London was stationed at RAF Warmwell). At least 33 RAF Sqns operated from here (including 19 ,41, 118, 130, 152, 164, 174, 175, 181, 182, 184, 234, 245, 247, 257, 263, 266, 302, 312, 350, 401, 402, 403, 411, 438, 439, 440, 443, 609 and 610 Sqns). Aircraft included Hurricanes, Spitfires, Typhoons and Whirlwinds.
No.275 and 276 Sqns air-sea rescue also operated from here with Walrus amphibian aircraft.
